Multivariable models in a Swiss cohort (N = 4602) associate male sex, not taking pain medication, normal weight, lower depression scores and younger age with recovery from chronic pain, while females, obese or overweight, having worse sleep and former smokers are associated with onset of new chronic pain. These common and separate factors need to be considered in treatment and prevention efforts.
