Pain is more frequent in females. The studies about thoracic and lumbar pains are inconclusives. Artralgias and
fibromyalgia have increasing frequency with the progression of the ages in both sexes and but are more common in females.
Temporomandibular pain conditions are more common in women. The differences in the prevalence of pain related with gender are based in constitutional, hormonal, cognitive and cultural aspects. The increasing of occurrence of certain pain conditions in older people is due to degenerative conditions and accumulation of diseases during in younger ages and the reduction may be due to the improvement of the causal conditions, increasing of incapacities or deaths.
