General and disease-specific pain trajectories as predictors of social and political outcomes in arthritis and cancer.
Richard J E JamesDavid A WalshEamonn FergusonPublished in: BMC medicine (2018)

These trajectories were associated with differences in engagement with social and civic life, which in turn were associated with poorer health and well-being.
