A new study from McGill University has found that some times of pain peak earlier in life than expected.<\/p>\n
Researchers reportedly analyzed self-reported pain data from more than 6.1 million people across 118 countries and territories, and found that different types of pain peak at different ages.<\/p>\n
Things like headaches and stomach pain reportedly peak earlier in one\u2019s life, while back, hip and knee pain grow with age.<\/p>\n
Researchers also found that the sharpest rise in pain occurred before age 55.<\/p>\n
Comparing women to men, researchers found that at nearly every age, women reported feeling more pain than men.<\/p>\n
Additionally, researchers found that \u201cpeople in less-industrialized countries reported higher levels of pain than did people in other countries, a finding that contrasts with some global estimates suggesting the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n
From the study, a global benchmark for pain was created, similar to growth charts pediatricians use to track a child\u2019s height and weight, noting that it allows researchers to compare pain levels against global averages for people of the same age and sex.<\/p>\n
