Cross-sectional “snapshot” reports of pain with age in the United States and internationally. A plots, by age, the fraction of US Black and White non-Hispanic adults ages 25 y to 79 y who report pain in the Gallup Health and Wellbeing Index, pooled over years 2008–2017 (n = 1,925,388), and in the NHIS 1997–2018 (n = 217,752). B plots, by age, the fraction of adults ages 25 y to 79 y who report pain in other wealthy countries in the Gallup World Poll 2006–2018 (n = 234,785) and in the EHIS 2013–2015 (n = 149,453). B also plots, from the EHIS 2013–2015, the fraction of adults in other wealthy countries who report that pain interferes with daily life (n = 148,240).
