  Participants aged 18 years or older were asked the following questions: "During the past three months, did you have \[neck pain, low back pain, or jaw/front of ear pain\]?" and "During the past 30 days, did you have joint pain?". Participants who answered affirmatively to joint pain were then asked to report the site of their joint pain. The options included shoulder, elbow, hip, wrist, knee, ankle, toes, and Participants aged 18 years or older were asked the following questions: "During the past three months, did you have \[neck pain, low back pain, or jaw/front of ear pain\]?" and "During the past 30 days, did you have joint pain?".

• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a national survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). NHIS is the principal source of information on the health of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The target population for the NHIS is the civilian noninstitutionalized population residing within the 50 states and the District of Columbia at the time of the interview. NCHS is bound by law to protect participant data, following rigorous privacy standards that have protected every NHIS participant since the first survey in 1957. Base on NHIS data, we included adults aged 18 years and older who were interviewed in a survey wave between 1999 and 2018 in this study. From the total unweighted sample of 603,140 respondents, we excluded 37,921 due to missing data on independent variables or musculoskeletal pain, resulting in an analytic sample size of 565,219.
