Aim: To examine the associations among the presence, level, and the duration of pain, the number of painful areas and physical function in elderly patients.<br> Methods: The participants in this study were 351 men and women aged 75 years orolder who were living in the community. Participants were interviewed about the presence, level, number of painful areas and duration of pain. Physical function was self-assessed using a questionnaire.<br> Results: The presence of pain was higher in women than men. No significant differences in the level, number of affected areas and duration of pain were observed between men and women. Physical function was significantly associated with the presence of pain (odds ratio[OR]: 1.75), presence of pain in the upper and lower extremities (OR: 5.15), pain in more than 3 areas of the body (OR: 11.56), presence of strong pain (OR: 4.65), and pain with a duration of over 5 years (OR: 3.35).<br> Conclusion: It is insufficient to assess the association between physical function and pain solely by the presence of pain. These findings suggest that it is necessary to assess the association between physical function and pain by the presence and level of pain, number of painful areas and duration of pain.<br>
