| Pain prevalence is significantly higher among sexual minority adults than straight adults, with the highest levels among those who identify as bisexual or something else, followed by those who identify as gay or lesbian, according to a new analysis of 20132018 data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). This analysis, published in the journalPain,was conducted by researchers from the University of Western Ontario; University at Buffalo, State University of New York; Michigan State University; Ohio State University; and National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Sexual minority adults (those who self-identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or something else) experience worse health than their straight counterparts. Although pain is a common health problem, little information is available on pain in sexual minority adults. This analysis provides the first comprehensive overview of pain experience in sexual minority adults, looking at those who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual, or something else separately. |
