Summary

This completed study looked at 393 adults aged 65 and older with chronic pain to see how frailty relates to the type and location of pain, as well as nutritional risk. Researchers measured frailty using standard criteria and assessed pain intensity and type. The goal is to help doctors take a more complete approach to managing pain in older adults.
