Full textAbstract:
Playfulness has been referred to as a disposition that involves reframing a situation to amuse others and to make the situation more stimulating and enjoyable. It may serve to shift one’s perspective when dealing with environmental threats. Despite all the benefits of playfulness towards psychological well-being, it remains a largely understudied subject in psychology, particularly in Chinese societies. Hence, this study examined the association between adult playfulness, humor styles, and subjective happiness among a sample of 166 university students in Hong Kong and 159 students in Guangzhou, who completed a self-administered questionnaire, including the Short Measure for Adult Playfulness, the Chinese Humor Styles Questionnaire, and the Subjective Happiness Scale. Results showed that adult playfulness was positively correlated with affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor, and subjective happiness in both Hong Kong and Guangzhou samples. By its implication, highly playful Chinese students preferred using affiliative and self-enhancing humor to amuse themselves and others.

The objective of this study is to examine young adults’ perceptions of the pandemic. This study is based on a content analysis of memes posted on one of the most popular emerging–adult-focused Facebook groups established during the pandemic. It finds that three themes emerged: pandemic humor, generational identity humor, and generational conflict humor. Memes about the pandemic include sub-themes of a coming apocalypse, adults who deny the seriousness of COVID-19, and a more general expression of negative feelings, particularly anger and fear, through humor. Posts also emphasize the existence of a shared generational identity through humor, with commonly understood references to issues like online learning, productivity, and mental health. Finally, generational conflict humor emphasizes antagonism with older generations, including mistrust of government and political leaders, professors, and universities.

AIM: To investigate the clinical features of adult patients with ocular toxocariasis (OT) in north China and to diagnose adults OT patients in early stage. METHODS: Clinical data of 24 adults with OT were retrospectively analyzed. Slit lamp photographs and fundus photographs and other imaging examinations of all the patients were reviewed. A questionnaire concerning the pet ownership and place of residence was completed to investigate the possible infection origin. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed on the demographic data, clinical features, funduscopic findings and ELISA results. RESULTS: Among the 24 patients diagnosed with OT by Toxocara IgG antibody in intraocular fluid, 16 (66.7%) eyes were right eye. The onset age of 12 eyes (50.0%) was between 30 and 40 years old, and 21 (87.5%) eyes were of peripheral granuloma type. The most common sign was vitreous opacity. Granulomas were detected in all the eyes, and 20 (83.3%) patients resided in rural area. In 4 patients, the concentration of anti-Toxocara antibody both in anterior humor and in vitreous humor were detected, and the results showed the concentration in vitreous humor was much higher than aqueous humor. CONCLUSION: Our study analyzes the clinical manifestation of OT in adults, which may have been under-recognized before. Eye side, residence, and detection of granuloma may help us in diagnosis of OT in patients with monocular vitreous opacity. For adult patients with presumed OT, negative results of anti-Toxocara antibody in anterior humor cannot rule out the possibility of OT, further detection of vitreous humor is suggested for final diagnosis.

Abstract The present study examined the relationship between humor styles and depression using two methods of examination: (1) the mean humor style differences between individuals who reported that they had been diagnosed with depression versus those who did not report being depressed; and (2) the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between humor styles and a short scale assessing depressed affect created from preexisting measures in archival data. Participants were 1154 adult Australians, consisting of 339 monozygotic twin pairs and 238 dizygotic twin pairs. With respect to mean differences, depressed individuals were found to use self-defeating humor more and self-enhancing humor less than non-depressed adults. When the depressed affect scale score was analyzed, negative correlations were found with both affiliative and self-enhancing humor. A positive correlation was found between depressed affect and both aggressive and self-defeating humor. These phenotypic correlations were also found to have some significant genetic and environmental correlations.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBoth common observations and research evidence strongly suggest that there are major differences between adult males and females as to both the number of humorous attempts they display in social situations and the types of humor they initiate and appreciate. What the causes are for these differences, however, have been less clear, with attributions being related to both biological and environmental reasons. In fact, researchers who have studied the development of humor in infants, preschoolers, and elementary age children have generally observed that the early humor of both boys and girls is similar, thus raising the possibility that the differences that gradually emerge with age may be attributed more to environmental rather than to biological reasons. This chapter will discuss the humor research evidence amassed by those who have studied young children’s humor development and the potential environmental influences on humor development that may account for some of the sex differences seen in adult humor.

Full textAbstract:
The Coping Humor Scale (CHS) is a seven-item tool widely used to assess the use of humor in coping with stressful situations. The beneficial effect of humor in buffering the impact of negative experiences has been investigated in several contexts and populations; for this reason, the CHS has been used in many languages, but its solid validation in Italian is still missing. Our study aimed at building a robust instrument to measure coping humor strategies among Italian health care workers, a category which has been particularly exposed to stressful situations in the last two years. The CHS translated into Italian was administered to a sample of 735 health care workers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. Confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis were performed. As a result, a six-item Robust Italian Coping Humor Scale (RI-CHS) was validated and ready to use for future studies on Italian health care workers’ samples. This study gives evidence that our six-item solution works as a ruler (i.e., an instrument that meets the conditions of fundamental measurement in the context of the human sciences) to measure the degree to which Italian health care workers rely on humor to cope with stress.

Akers, Chelsie Lynn. "The Rise of Humor: Hollywood Increases Adult Centered Humor in Animated Children's Films." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2013. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3724.
Full textAbstract:
Children's animated films have held a lasting influence on their audiences since the rise of their popularity in the 1980s. As adults co-view such films with their children Hollywood has had to rewrite the formula for a successful animated children's film. This thesis argues that a main factor in audience expansion is adult humor. The results show that children's animated films from 2002-2013 are riddled with many instances of adult humor while earlier films from 1982-1993 use adult humor sparingly. It is clear that over the years the number of adult humor occurrences has consistently increased. Furthermore, this research shows that adult male roles consistently deliver the adult humor.

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar associações prospectivas dos transtornos de humor e da religiosidade com o risco de suicídio em adultos jovens provenientes da população geral. MÉTODO: Coorte prospectiva de base populacional. Adultos jovens (18-24 anos) foram recrutados e acompanhados em média cinco anos depois. Risco de suicídio, transtornos de humor e de ansiedade foram avaliados usando o Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Transtornos por uso de substâncias foram avaliados utilizando o Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. A religiosidade foi avaliada na linha de base e agrupada de acordo com a afiliação religiosa e de acordo com a freqüência de participação. RESULTADOS: A amostra incluiu 1560 adultos jovens na linha de base, com 1244 reavaliados no seguimento (80,6%). Os episódios depressivos, tanto atuais como prévios, tiveram um impacto significativo no risco de suicídio. Os episódios maníacos prévios, no entanto, foram associados com uma menor consistência a um risco de suicídio. Nenhuma associação da religiosidade com o risco de suicídio foi encontrada nas duas etapas da pesquisa. Este resultado permaneceu na análise em todas as afiliações religiosas, mesmo quando subdivididas de acordo com a freqüência de participação. CONCLUSÕES: Os episódios depressivos têm um robusto efeito prospectivo, independente, sobre o risco de suicídio. O efeito dos episódios maníacos, por outro lado, foi dependente da análise e merece uma melhor investigação. Embora existam evidências prévias sugerindo um papel protetor da religiosidade sobre o risco de suicídio, essas não foram confirmadas nessa amostra específica de adultos jovens.OBJECTIVES: To assess the prospective associations of mood disorders, religiosity and suicidality in a community sample of young adults. METHODS: Prospective population-based cohort study. Young adults (18-24 years old) were recruited and followed-up five years later. Suicidality, mood and anxiety disorders were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Substance use disorders were assessed using the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. Religiosity were assessed at baseline and grouped according to religious affiliation and according to attendance frequency. RESULTS: The sample included 1560 young adults at baseline, with 1244 reassessed at follow-up (80.6%). Depressive episodes, both current and past had a significant impact on suicidality. Previous manic episodes, however, were less consistently associated with suicidality. No association of religiosity with suicidality was found in the two waves of the research. This effect is maintained in all religious affiliations, even when subdivided the analysis according to the frequency of attendance in religious service. CONCLUSIONS: Depressive episodes have an independent and robust effect on prospective suicidality. The effect of manic episodes, on the other hand, was dependent on the analysis and deserves further exploration. Although there is prior general evidence suggesting a protective role of religiosity on suicidality, these were not confirmed in this specific sample of young adults.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if exposure to humor media improves mood states of older adults. The humor media consisted of four thirty minute videos. Ten subjects from a retirement community in East Central Indiana participated in the study. A control group and experimental group were assigned by the Activities Director of the retirement community. Each participant was administered the Profile of Mood States for the pretest and posttest measurement. The Profile of Mood States lists sixty-five adjectives and participants ranked on a scale of 0 to 4 how much they felt that mood within the past week. Members of the experimental group participated in fifteen minute interviews after the completion of the intervention.Total mood score means for the experimental group indicated an increase in positive mood from the pretest to the post-test. Total Mood Score means for the control group showed either no change or a decrease in positive mood. Because the sample size was very small,no statistical test of significance could be executed to test the null hypothesis. Based upon the qualitative interviews and the simple analysis of quantitative data humor media appears to have positive effects on the subjects in nursing homes and retirement communities. However, this intervention deserves further investigation with a larger sample that would allow for more rigorous statistical analysis.Fisher Institute for Wellness

Previous issue date: 2012This study is divided into three sections: one theoretical and two empirical studies. The theoretical chapter presents a systematic review were searched the last ten years researches that related Childhood Trauma with mood disorders in adults in empirical studies (cohort or cross). In this review there was a lack of empirical studies that describe these phenomena and their association in our country, from such a reality was outlined to verify the empirical studies of childhood trauma and its association with mood disorders in a clinical population in the city of Porto Alegre. Chapter two describes the frequency of childhood trauma and specified by the most frequent types with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. In the third chapter there was an association between trauma in childhood mood disorders, diagnosed from the SCID-I-CV and symptoms of depressive mood (BDI-II) and hypomanic (HCL-32). RESULTS: The frequency of trauma found this population was 44. 22%. And that was associated with bipolar disorder and dysthymia. There was also a lack of studies describing and associating factors for the development of psychopathology in the Brazilian reality. Finally difficulty parameters have been firm to carry out intervention strategies and effective prevention.
O presente estudo é dividido em três capítulos: um estudo teórico, e dois empíricos. O capítulo teórico apresenta uma revisão sistemática, onde foram buscados artigos dos últimos dez anos que relacionassem Trauma na infância com Transtorno de Humor na vida adulta em estudos empíricos (transversais ou de coorte). Nesta revisão verificou-se a falta de estudos empíricos que descrevessem estes fenômenos e sua associação em nosso pais, a partir de tal realidade delineou-se os estudos empíricos para verificação de trauma na infância e sua associação com os transtornos do humor em uma população clínica do município de Porto Alegre. No capítulo dois descreveu-se a freqüência de trauma na infância e dividiram-se a partir do QUESI (Questionário Sobre Traumas na Infância) quais os tipos mais freqüentes. No terceiro capítulo verificou-se a associação entre Trauma na infância Transtornos do humor, diagnosticados a partir da SCID-I-CV e sintomas do humor depressivos (BDI-II) e hipomaníacos (HCL-32). RESULTADOS: A freqüência de trauma encontrada nesta população foi de 44,22%. E este apresentou associação com os transtornos de humor bipolar e distimia. Verificou-se ainda a carência de estudos que descrevam e associem fatores para desenvolvimento de psicopatologia na realidade brasileira. E por fim dificuldade em ter-se parâmetros firmes para a realização de estratégis de intervenção e prevenção eficazes.

Full textAbstract:
A irritabilidade é um sintoma frequente tanto em transtornos externalizantes quanto internalizantes. Pode ser definida como propensão à raiva em relação aos pares manifestando-se através de humor irritável e/ou ataques de raiva. Embora humor irritável e ataques de raiva ocorram muitas vezes de forma simultânea, trata-se de uma questão empírica investigar se humor e comportamento irritável são parte de um construto único ou se constituem-se em componentes distintos. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a diferença dos construtos humor e comportamento disruptivo em adultos em uma amostra de pacientes com transtornos mentais graves. A análise dos dados foi realizada através de análise fatorial confirmatória e de validações externas com outros instrumentos clínicos. Além disso foi nosso objetivo avaliar a prevalência das principais síndromes disruptivas no adulto: o Transtorno Explosivo Intermitente (TEI), o Transtorno Opositor Desafiante (TOD) e o Transtorno da Desregulação Disruptiva do Humor (TDDH). A coleta de dados foi realizada nos ambulatórios de esquizofrenia, transtorno bipolar, depressão e ansiedade do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre totalizando 246 pacientes (idade média 45 anos, 63% do sexo feminino). Sintomas de comportamento e humor disruptivos foram frequentes na amostra, embora o diagnóstico DSM-5 das síndromes disruptivas apresentaram prevalência baixa (TEI, 8%, TOD, 2% TDDH, 2%). O modelo unidimensional, que envolve os fatores humor e comportamento como um construto único não apresentou bons índices de ajuste na amostra. Os modelos que apresentaram índices de ajuste adequados foram os modelos correlacionado (com as dimensões humor e comportamento) e o modelo bifatorial com uma dimensão geral de irritabilidade e duas específicas (humor e comportamento). A avaliação psicométrica demonstrou que os sintomas de humor já estão presentes em casos mais leves de irritabilidade, enquanto que os sintomas de comportamento aparentam indicar níveis de irritabilidade mais elevados. Análises com os validadores externos demonstraram que o humor irritável mesmo após retirar o componente comum entre humor e comportamento esteve especificamente associado com prejuízo e com medidas clínicas de depressão e mania, o que não aconteceu com o componente comportamento. Este estudo fornece suporte para estudar os componentes comuns e específicos do humor e comportamento irritado no adulto, sendo evidência inédita de validade para o construto de humor disruptivo no adulto.Irritability is a common symptom in both externalizing and internalizing disorders. It can be defined as a propensity to anger toward peers manifested through irritable mood and/or anger attacks. Although irritable mood and anger attacks often occur simultaneously, it is and empirical question to investigate whether mood and irritable behavior are part of a single construct or if they constitute distinct components. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the difference of mood and disruptive behavior constructs in adults in a sample of patients with severe mental disorders. Data analysis was performed through confirmatory factor analysis and external validations with clinical instruments. In addition, it was our objective to evaluate the prevalence of the main disruptive syndromes in adults: Intermittent Explosive Disorders (IED), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). Data collection was performed at the outpatient units of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, totalizing 246 patients (mean age 45 years old, 63% female). Symptoms of disruptive mood and behavior were frequent in the sample, although the DMS 5 diagnosis of disruptive syndromes presented low prevalence (IED, 8%, ODD, 2%, DMDD, 2%). The unidimensional model encompassing mood and behavior factors as a single construct, did not provide a good fit to our data. The models who presented proper fit indexes were the correlated model (with mood and behavior dimensions) and the bifactor model with a general irritability dimension and two specific ones (mood and behavior). Psychometric evaluation has shown that mood symptoms are present in milder cases of irritability, while behavioral symptoms are present in higher levels of irritability. External validators analysis demonstrated that irritable mood even after removing the common component between mood and behavior was specifically associated with impairment and with clinical measures of depression and mania, which did not happen with the behavior component. This study provides support for studying the common and specific components of irritable mood and behavior in adults, being unprecedented evidence of validity for the adult disruptive mood construct.

Childhood trauma is an important risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders in adult life. It may be described as the exposure of the child to circumstances of physical, psychological, or sexual violence and/or neglect that endangers the child’s life. Investigations on negative life events are important to determine the environmental impact related to the development of psychiatric disorders in adult life. On this matter, early traumatic experiences have been strongly associated with suicidal behavior, which leaves deep emotional scars that accompany the individual throughout life. Childhood trauma has also been associated with mood disorders, which are disturbances regarding mood and affective states that are classified in depressive disorder and bipolar mood disorder. The following thesis has two purposes: 1) to verify the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and current suicide risk in a population-based sample of individuals aged 14-35 years in the urban area of Pelotas/RS; and 2) to verify and corroborate the relationship between childhood trauma and the development of mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder) in adult life, in a population-based study. Both purposes were addressed by the cross-sectional population-based study entitled: Trauma na infância, transtornos de humor e risco de suicídio em jovens entre 14 e 35 anos, residentes na zona urbana da cidade de Pelotas/RS, which is nested within a bigger study entitled: “Estudo do temperamento e transtornos psiquiátricos na interface entre psiquiatria, psicologia e neurociências”. Childhood trauma was evaluated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) whereas the suicide risk and the mood disorders were evaluated through the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). In addition, the participants responded to a questionnaire containing 10 information on sociodemographic and substance use variables. Statistical analyses were conducted in the SPSS 13.0 for Windows and STATA 12. They were carried out using a conceptual model and the variables that presented p ≤ 0.20 were included in the adjusted analysis according to the levels from the hierarchical model. Statistical associations were considered significant when p ≤ 0.05. The probability of presenting suicide risk was higher amongst women, individuals who were not currently working, the ones who presented alcohol abuse and tobacco smokers. Moreover, suicide risk was associated with all trauma domains, especially emotional abuse. Regarding mood disorders, the present study verified the relationship between childhood trauma and mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder) in young adults. In conclusion, the avoidance of early trauma may reduce suicide risk in young individuals and, in addition, this type of study may help to create new prevention and intervention strategies targeting this population.
Traumas infantis são importantes fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de transtornos psiquiátricos na vida adulta. Podem ser definidos como a exposição de uma criança às circunstâncias de violência física, psicológica ou sexual e / ou negligência que põem em perigo a vida deste indivíduo. A investigação sobre eventos negativos da vida é necessária, a fim de determinar o impacto ambiental relacionado ao aparecimento de transtornos psiquiátricos e o desenvolvimento destes, na vida adulta. Neste sentido, experiências traumáticas precoces vêm sendo fortemente associadas ao comportamento suicida, deixando profundas marcas emocionais, que acompanham os indivíduos ao longo da vida. O trauma na infância também tem sido associado aos transtornos de humor, os quais são caracterizados por uma perturbação no humor ou afeto, classificados em transtornos depressivos e transtornos de humor bipolar (THB). A presente tese se propõe a dois objetivos: 1) verificar a relação entre as experiências traumáticas na infância e risco de suicídio atual em uma amostra de base populacional de indivíduos com idade entre 14-35 anos, na área urbana de Pelotas/RS; e 2) reforçar a relação entre o trauma na infância e o desenvolvimento de transtornos de humor (depressão e transtorno de humor bipolar) na vida adulta, em um estudo de base populacional. Os dois objetivos foram alcançados através do estudo transversal de base populacional intitulado: Trauma na infância, transtornos de humor e risco de suicídio em jovens entre 14 e 35 anos, residentes na zona urbana da cidade de Pelotas/RS, sendo este um estudo transversal de base populacional, aninhado a outro estudo maior intitulado: “Estudo do temperamento e transtornos psiquiátricos na interface entre psiquiatria, psicologia e neurociências”. O trauma de infância foi avaliado através do 8 Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) e o risco de suicídio e os transtornos de humor foram avaliados pela Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Também, os participantes responderam um questionário com dados sócio demográficos e uso de substâncias. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas utilizando o SPSS 13.0 para Windows e o STATA 12. Estas foram realizadas através de um modelo hierárquico conceitual e, as variáveis que apresentaram p ≤ 0,20, foram incluídas na análise ajustada de acordo com os níveis propostos no modelo e, foram consideradas associações estatisticamente significativas quando p<0,05. As probabilidades de risco de suicídio foram maiores entre as mulheres, as pessoas que não estavam trabalhando atualmente, os que apresentavam abuso de álcool e entre os fumantes de tabaco. Além disso, o risco de suicídio esteve associado a todos os tipos de trauma, principalmente ao abuso emocional. Com relação aos transtornos de humor, o presente estudo verificou a relação entre trauma na infância e transtornos de humor (depressão e THB) em adultos jovens. Neste sentido, evitando trauma precoce pode-se reduzir o risco de suicídio em indivíduos jovens e ainda, este tipo de estudo pode auxiliar na criação de novas estratégias de prevenção e intervenção nesta população.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter contains sections on all kinds of children’s songs and rhymes. There are nursery rhymes, schoolyard songs, and parodies of well-known tunes like “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and “On Top of Old Smoky.” School is lampooned, teachers are tortured, and worms, diarrhea, and vomit appear as subjects of humor as children make merry fun of the adult world. Kids sing of “playing suffocation” and losing their virginity. This is the chapter adults might want to read most carefully if they want to find out what children talk about on the playground and at sleepovers. Some girls added cheers to the mix, while camp counselors sang songs and parodies of those songs they had learned as young campers.

Full textAbstract:
Southwestern humor was one of the nineteenth century’s most popular types of writing, and George Washington Harris’s Sut Lovingood tales are masterpieces of the genre. Harris was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and reared in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he spent his adult life. Harris worked as a railroad conductor, steamboat captain, sawmill manager, and jeweler and was also involved in politics. His earliest writings were polemical pieces for Knoxville newspapers. An ardent secessionist, he penned satirical sketches blasting Lincoln and the Unionists....

Full textAbstract:
Justine Gieni examines the language and illustrations of Heinrich Hoffman’s 1845 picturebook Struwwelpeter, a seminal text in the genre that, on the surface at least, makes explicit use of horrifying methods of childhood death and dismemberment as a means of cautioning young readers to behave according to the strictures of its era. In her essay, however, Gieni zeroes in on the transgressive nature of Hoffman’s tales, concentrating specifically on the role of body horror in the text. Entering the debate about the book’s appropriateness for child audiences, Gieni focuses especially on the violence committed against the child’s body in the book, arguing that, through the “powers of horror,” Hoffman satirizes the pedagogical didacticism of nineteenth-century German culture and empowers young readers, allowing them to experience the thrill of derisive laughter in the face of brutal authoritarianism. She also illuminatingly considers the publication, relevance, and reception of Struwwelpeter today, discussing how it has been rebranded as a text for “knowing” adult audiences with an emphasis more on its horror than its humor, as well as the implications of such a shift in the text’s purported readership and thematic intentions.

Victor Prohin, the well-known publicist and writer, in his stance of journalist who knows how to handle the word perfectly – has been working at newspapers and magazines all his life, since he graduated college at Moldova State University and even now. Modest and honest like a tree, he carried the „burden of his true goodwill” from which he poured his tender humor in his proses for adults and children. Cherished by the reader for „ripe leaves”, for checked humor and for his well achieved joke, the writer of „benevolent humor” was blessed at the beginning of his journey by Grigore Vieru and Spiridon Vangheli.

"PREVALÊNCIA DE DOR CRÔNICA NO BRASIL: REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA E META-ANÁLISE." In I Congresso Brasileiro de Doenças Crônicas On-line. Revista Multidisciplinar em Saúde, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.51161/cronics/5855.
Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O Brasil é um país continental com enorme desigualdade regional. As informações sobre a epidemiologia da dor crônica no país são muito escassas. A dor crônica é caracterizada por um estado patológico das funções neurobiológicas, e pode ser definida quando apresenta duração de pelo menos 3 meses. Objetivos: Esta revisão sintetizou estudos existentes sobre a prevalência de dor crônica no Brasil e dos seus fatores associados para produzir uma estimativa recente e orientar as políticas de saúde pública . Métodos: Foram realizadas pesquisas nas seguintes bases de dados: Ovid Medline; Embase; Web of Science e BVS Regional/Lilacs, para identificar estudos transversais de base populacional de 2005 a 2020, as quais relataram prevalência de dor crônica no Brasil (mais de três meses). O risco de viés foi avaliado usando desenho, determinação do tamanho da amostra e seleção aleatória como questões essenciais. As estimativas de prevalência agrupadas foram calculadas para dor crônica nas populações geral e idosa. O protocolo foi registrado no Prospero (CRD42021249678). Resultados/Discussão: Dos 682 trabalhos identificados, 15 cumpriram nossos critérios de inclusão. A prevalência de dor crônica na população adulta geral variou de 23,02% a 41,4% (estimativa combinada 35,70%, IC 95%, 30,42 a 41,17) e foi descrita como moderada a intensa. Associou-se ao sexo feminino, idade avançada, menor escolaridade, atividade profissional intensa, consumo excessivo de álcool, tabagismo, obesidade central, transtorno de humor e sedentarismo. O Sudeste e as regiões Sul apresentaram maior prevalência. A prevalência no população idosa variou de 29,3% a 76,2% (estimativa combinada 47,32%, IC 95% ,33,73 a 61,11). Foi associada ao sexo feminino, menor escolaridade, situação econômica, sedentarismo e doenças crônicas. Além disso, esta população visitou médicos com mais frequência, teve mais distúrbios do sono e foi mais dependentes das atividades de vida diária. Quase cinquenta por cento de ambas populações com dor crônica relataram incapacidade induzida pela dor. Conclusão: A Dor Crônica é altamente prevalente no Brasil e associada a sofrimento significativo, incapacidade e controlado terapêutico inadequado.
