ABSTRACT
Older people with chronic pain are at higher risk of developing sarcopenia. Central sensitization (CS) has been implicated in chronic pain among community-dwelling older adults. However, a relationship between CS and chronic pain with sarcopenia has not been established. This cross-sectional study aimed to clarify the relationship between chronic pain with sarcopenia or presarcopenia and CS among community-dwelling older adults. We assessed chronic pain and sarcopenia in 104 older adults participating in community health checks. We defined sarcopenia using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) consensus recommendations based on the following outcomes:
low muscle mass, low muscle strength, and slow gait speed. Pain-related assessments included pain intensity, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the CS Inventory-9, the pressure pain threshold, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, and the EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level (EQ5D-5L). Chronic pain was defined by related symptoms within the month prior to the health check that had continued for ≥ 3 months and corresponded to a numerical rating scale score of ≥ 1 at the site of maximum pain. The prevalence of chronic pain was 43.3%. In addition, the prevalence of chronic pain with sarcopenia or presarcopenia was 29.8%. A logistic regression analysis revealed that the pressure pain threshold (odds ratio 0.82, 95% CI 0.95-1.02) and the EQ5D-5L (odds ratio 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.76) were significantly associated with the presence of chronic pain with sarcopenia or presarcopenia. Chronic pain with sarcopenia or presarcopenia was affected by central sensitization. Therefore, CS should be evaluated in the elderly.
