Global age and sex-specific reference curves for 11 pain sites, from 6.1 million people in 118 countries, found higher late-life pain in the lowest HDI countries, and provide a tool for benchmarking pain assessments in other cohorts. dlvr.it/TVr74Q

Pain may not increase linearly with age, with the sharpest rises occurring before the age of 55, according to a global analysis of more than 6 million people published in Nature Medicine. go.nature.com/4jGAiQx
ALT This is figure 5, which shows risk factors, site-specific associations and PAFs for pain across the lifespan.

Super excited to share our paper published in @NatureMedicine! 🌍📊
We harmonized 902 population-based data sources from 138 study programs, covering 6.1M people across 118 countries, to map pain from ages 5 to 100+.

A few findings 🧵👇
New in @NatureMedicine: pain reference curves from 6M+ people in 118 countries. Pain rises steeply before 55, is higher in women, and late-life pain peaks in low-HDI regions, unlike GBD estimates. Led by @MattFillingim

Our new @NatureHumBehav paper shows why we need a holistic pain biomarker framework. ML on blood tests, brain/bone imaging & genetics predicts clinical diagnoses but falls short on subjective pain. Adding psychosocial (mood, sleep, stress) boosts both. shorturl.at/vxxeO
Our new @NatureComms paper: We used UK Biobank data (n≈193K) to build ML models predicting tinnitus presence (driven by hearing health) and severity (influenced by mood, neuroticism & sleep). A simple 6-item POST questionnaire forecasts 9-yr outcomes. shorturl.at/4AF4P

Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050.
Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: buff.ly/46nvoPR

Our new lab paper suggests that almost all (between 75-90%) cognitively intact people with abnormal plasma p-tau217 values subsequently developed MCI when followed for <10 years after their blood test. (14% in A-T-) I have mixed feeling of being happy and scarred... 😳#Alzheimer

Our latest preprint is here: shorturl.at/ckAV5. Using the UK Biobank, All of Us, and Open Pain portal, we propose a holistic framework to optimize the prediction of biomarkers for chronic pain.

🧠 Exciting news! 🎉 Our UK Biobank connectome resource is officially released on UKB showcase! The paper is now published, and we're thrilled to share the largest human brain network dataset to date with the research community. #HumanConnectome (1/6)
🔗 xitter.cf/Sina_Mansour_L/status/…
🚨 Attention! 🧠
Exciting news for the neuroscience community!
We've created a structural and functional connectomic resource for over 40,000 participants in the UK Biobank.
Find out more in this thread...

Did you know @IASPpain requires you to DELETE your preprint if your paper is accepted there? Couldn’t believe it when I heard.

A risk score developed using biological, psychological, and social factor data from the @uk_biobank can predict different pain conditions and the prognosis of chronic pain up to 9-years later @evp82 @TanguaySabourin

Our paper about chronic pain led by @TanguaySabourinis out in @NatureMedicine | nature.com/articles/s41591-0…. This article introduces the concept of pain spread in chronic overlapping pain conditions and shows that it can be predicted. (1/4)
We next identified a Risk of Pain Spreading (ROPS), based on sleeplessness, feeling ‘fed-up’, tiredness, stressful life events and BMI >30, that predicted widespread chronic pain and its impact across three different cohorts. (3/4)

Our paper on our prognostic risk score for chronic pain spread is finally out in @NatureMedicine and officially the first paper from our lab @evp82 ! Thanks and congrats to everyone involved 🥳nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
