Using survey data from 75,015 adults assessed at baseline and two‑year follow‑up, we found that persistent pain was associated with significantly higher odds of self‑reported depression for both men and women, even after adjustment for demographic and clinical factors. Men with pain had a greater relative increase in depression risk than women. These results suggest that routine assessment of pain may help identify older adults at elevated risk for depression and support more targeted screening and intervention. 000000643 540__ $$fCC BY 000000643 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000643 650__ $$aDepression$$017614 000000643 650__ $$aSurveys and Questionnaires$$025037 000000643 650__ $$aCohort Studies$$028327 000000643 650__ $$aPain$$023476 000000643 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000000643 650__ $$aMedicare$$019885 000000643 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000643 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000643 7001_ $$aJohnson, Nathan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000643 8564_ $$967b22c7e-a101-4f5f-87e1-62065bca2a31$$s1200027$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/643/files/644_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$21f65346ba0375b1b9453bd8cc6f4517a$$31 000000643 905__ $$a/rest/prod/79/40/7x/18/79407x18h 000000643 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:643$$pstudent-work 000000643 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000643 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
