Abstract
This study found a small, but significant relationship between elevations on MMPI scales measuring hypochondriasis and hysteria and the report of chronic pain conditions at follow-up. The study is important because it is the first to examine how personality assessed in younger adults relates to the number of chronic pain conditions reported 30 years later.
