Description
Arya Hamedanchi and Fereshteh Rezaie lead a team cataloguing the everyday physical complaints of older Tehran residents and how those complaints weigh on well-being. Their study appeared in two thousand twenty-five. Many late-life aches signal no specific disease yet still cause real suffering. Clinicians can overlook them for that reason.
Over six hundred adults past sixty answered a structured questionnaire. Limb pain topped the list, reported by nine in ten. Back pain, weakness, and fatigue followed close behind. Past seventy, vision, hearing, and continence complaints climbed significantly. Younger seniors, oddly, minded hair and skin aging more. The more complaints a person listed, the lower their well-being score ran. The authors urge routine assessment to include plain complaints. Treating the list seriously is cheap and humane.
