flag Australian adults report rising pain levels, especially among women, low-income workers, and those with chronic conditions or smoking habits.

flag Australian adults are reporting more bodily pain than two decades ago, with nearly 79% of women and 74% of men experiencing some pain in the past four weeks, according to the HILDA Survey. flag Pain levels have risen even after accounting for an ageing population, affecting women more than men and being worse among lower-income workers, those with chronic conditions, and smokers. flag Higher education and income are linked to less pain. flag Severe pain impacts daily activities, mental health, and life satisfaction, highlighting the need to understand and reverse this trend.
