title: Obesity link with pain.
abstract: Chronic pain is common in older people, affects women more than men and is highly associated with obesity. The link may, in part, be related to the greater mechanical load on weight-bearing joints causing pain in the legs and low back pain, however, pain is also more common in non-weight-bearing areas.
