Naughty children and teenagers and severe pain in old age.

Just found this "gem" that exemplifies what I am aiming to explore. In relation to the idea of desire as the expression of absences of essential necessities in childhood, would it be possible to jump all the way into understanding how those unbalances will then express themselves in pain and other illnesses in adulthood? What's even more relevant here is that we can make these connections in relation to all aspects of our lives.

Those inabilities to adapt to the status quo are expensively paid by the individuals who are isolated and sent to "special" treatments and self healing courses. But who amongst us in the developed world is actually free of such unbalances?

What one has to be very careful with, with articles like this one is that they tend to place the emphasis on adapting to the status quo and not being naughty so that one doesn't have to pay with it later with sever pain instead of realizing that what our societies are producing today is people who suffer all their lives one way or another because the status quo is inhuman.

Objectives. To determine whether childhood behaviour is associated with the likelihood of chronic widespread pain (CWP) in adulthood, and any such relationship is mediated through adult psychological distress, using a large population-based birth cohort.

Methods. A prospective cohort study (the 1958 British Birth Cohort) was conducted. Participants were enrolled at birth in 1958, and followed up throughout childhood and adulthood. Data on childhood behaviour were collected from parents and teachers. Data regarding pain were collected at the age of 45 years by self-completion questionnaire. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs were estimated using Poisson regression, adjusting for gender, social class in childhood and adulthood, childhood common symptoms and adult psychological distress.

Results. CWP was slightly more common in adult females than males (12.9 vs 11.7%). There was an increased likelihood of reporting CWP at the age of 45 years with every unit increase in teacher-reported behaviour score at 16 (RR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02, 1.05), 11(RR 1.02; 95% CI 1.01, 1.03) and 7 years (RR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00, 1.02) of age. Those with scores indicating severe behaviour disturbances at 11 and 16 years of age had an increasedlikelihood of CWP in adulthood (RR 1.95; 95% CI 1.47, 2.59 and RR 1.69; 95% CI 1.18, 2.42, respectively). The strongest association was seen among those indicating persistent behaviour problems at 7, 11 and 16 years (RR 2.14; 95% CI 1.43, 3.21) of age, compared with those without at all three ages. Similar but slightly weakerassociations were shown for parent-reported behaviour.

Conclusion. Maladjusted (social) behaviour is associated with increased long-term CWP beyond childhood and adolescence.
