Results are expressed as multivariable-adjusted mean±SE. Between-group comparisons performed for each pain characteristic using analysis of variance, adjusting for age (continuous), gender (man, woman), smoking (never, former, current), body mass index categories (normal, overweight, obese), presence of pain killers (yes, no) and currently working (yes, no).
