HealthDay (8/16, Preidt) reports, “If your significant other is depressed, you are at increased risk for chronic pain,” researchers found after analyzing “data from more than 100,000 people in the UK.” Investigators “found that chronic pain is caused partly by genetics and partly by still-unknown risk factors shared by partners or spouses.” The findings were published online Aug. 16 in PLOS Medicine.
