Abstract:
Abstract. Background: Musculoskeletal pain is the most common chronic pain experienced by older adults. The aim of this study is to explore the associations between vitamin D (FOKI) receptor gene polymorphism (VDR) and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: Cross-sectional studies published in English from January 2000 to January 2015which reported prevalence of chronic pain (CP) and chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. A heat map was used to visualize and observe the correlation between VDR and CMP, CP and VDD. Results: 20 studies (N = 216,365) were included in the analysis, which showed an overall pooled prevalence estimate of CMP and CP as 30.6 per 100 (95 % CI: 30.59, 30.69) and 27.9 per 100 (95 % CI: 27.68, 28.24) respectively. The heat map clustering analysis visualizes the similarity between CP and CMP. Moreover, a direct correlation was observed between the three disease conditions (namely CMP, CP, and VDD) and FokI VDR polymorphism (FF). Spearman’s correlation analyses with adjusted r 2 revealed that there is a statistically significant interaction effect of the FF genotype and VDD on CMP (r 2 = 0.19, p = 0.03), a marginally significant interaction effect of the ff genotype and VDD on CMP (r 2 = 0.11, p = 0.08). VDD was also associated with increased CMP (r 2 = 0.19, p = 0.028). The pooled estimates of the prevalence of CMP in this review were found to be high. Conclusion: FokI VDR gene polymorphism (FF) plays an important role in the relationship between VDD and CMP.
