Article Summary
In the article by Ezzati, Zimmerman, Mindy, Katz Sundermann, Smith, Lipton and Lipton (2014), the goal was to look at the relationship between pain and hippocampal volumes in older cognitively intact adults. Specifically, this study was looking at differences in volume in subparts of the hippocampus as related to pain. This study looked at 86 adults over the age of 70 with a mean age of 80.2 years. Additionally, 53.8% were women, and 54.7% were white, and the sample had a mean education level of 14.2 years. All participants were recruited from the Einstein Aging Study. Past research has found that more than half of older adults suffer from chronic pain and results in a diminished quality of life. This was found to worsen as
