Occurrence of multisite pain and associated factors: results from an Australian population-based study
The occurrence of multisite pain was higher than single site pain, although data are self-reported which may lead to recall bias. An increasing number of pain sites negatively impacts on general health. Consideration of modifiable factors, such as depression and psychosocial support, may assist in health promotion and management of multisite pain.
