Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Classic twin study. OBJECTIVES: To determine the heritability of neck pain in persons 70 years of age and older. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Previous studies have shown a moderate effect of genetic factors on back pain in the elderly. Genetic influence on neck pain in old age is unknown. METHODS: Data on the 1-month prevalence of neck pain from twin pairs participating in the population based...
