Journal of the American Geriatrics Society 55, no. 1 (January 2007) 102— 107.

Pain is a common problem in the elderly, and many elderly people are prescribed painkillers. A report from the American Geriatrics Society found that about one-fourth to one-half of all elderly people not living in nursing homes report pain-related problems, and one in five people over age 65 take painkillers one or more times each week. As many as three in five elderly people have taken prescription pain medication for more than six months. In nursing homes or other care facilities, as many as 80% of elderly patients report some type of pain.
