Abstract

Chronic pain (CP) was associated with cognitive impairment in previous studies. However, the longitudinal association between CP and dementia remains under debate. We aimed to assess the prospective link between CP and long-term dementia risk in a population-based cohort of older participants, considering covariables linked to CP and cognitive functioning.
