Macchia et al. used nationally representative data from 22 countries (N = 202,898) and a random effects meta-analysis to examine 13 childhood predictors of physical pain in adulthood. Findings show that childhood experiences, personal attributes, and familial and social circumstances have meaningful and varied associations with adulthood pain.
