What is Predictors of development and persistence of musculoskeletal pain in community‐dwelling older people: A two‐year longitudinal study about?
## Aim The aim of this prospective cohort study was to identify the predictors of the development and persistence of musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) in older people. ## Methods Participants comprised 431 community‐dwelling older people aged 70+ years. Demographic, anthropometric, balance, mobility, cognitive function, psychological status and physical activity level measures were obtained at baseline. Participants were asked about the presence of MSKP in the neck/back, hip, knee/leg and/or feet at baseline and two‐year follow‐up. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of the development and persistence of MSKP at two‐year follow‐up. ## Results Of 179 participants who reported no MSKP at baseline, 84 (46.9%) reported MSKP at two‐year follow‐up, which was associated with a higher body mass index (odds ratio (OR) 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.18), more reported depressive symptoms (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.05–1.61) and lower physical activity levels (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.84–1.00) at baseline. Of 252 participants who reported MSKP at baseline, 202 (80.2%) reported MSKP at follow‐up, which was associated with a slower 6‐m walking time (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.08–1.49
