Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to is to compare the pain levels, quality of life, and depression levels of geriatric patients and non-geriatric patientsdue to musculoskeletal pain.Materials and Methods: 300 GP and 250 NGP were included in this cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients agedbetween 18-90 years, those suffering from musculoskeletal pain, and those with a pain severity between 2 and 8 points agreed to participate inthe study. Visual pain scale (VPS) was used for the assessment of pain severity. The quality of life was assessed by Short form-36 (SF-36). The Beckdepression scale (BDS) was used to assess depression status.Results: In the GP group, the prevalence of additional comorbidities, frequency of drug use, and the number of painful sites in the musculoskeletalsystem were more frequent from those of the NGP group (p
