Association between the central sensitization inventory score and health-related quality of life in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Central sensitization is an important factor associated with impaired health-related quality of life in patients with musculoskeletal disorders and community-dwelling older adults. However, health-related quality-of-life domains strongly associated with central sensitization in the general population remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between the Central Sensitization Inventory Part A scores and health-related quality of life using community health checkup data.

Methods

A total of 419 middle-aged and older adults (mean age, 64.4 ± 11.2 years; 59.4% female) were included. Participants completed a questionnaire survey on pain, including visual analogue scales (VASs) for lower-back and knee pain, and the Central Sensitization Inventory Part A
