Food insecurity and loneliness significantly increase chronic pain risk after surgery, study finds.
People facing food insecurity or loneliness are much more likely to develop chronic pain after surgery, a new study finds.
Analyzing data from over 8,000 patients, researchers discovered food insecurity increased chronic pain risk by 83%, while loneliness raised it by 2.1% per point on a social well-being scale.
Stronger social support reduced risk by 3.7% per point.
The findings, presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025, highlight the importance of screening patients for social and economic challenges before surgery to improve recovery outcomes.
