We used a modified Poisson regression model to estimate adjusted risk ratios (RRs) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for CWP and pain-related disability at follow-up in 2017– 2019 associated with insomnia and number of nighttime insomnia symptoms at baseline. Chronic insomnia was defined according to the current classification system and grouped into three categories based on the number of reported nighttime symptoms (ie, difficulty initiating sleep, trouble maintaining sleep and early morning awakenings).Results: Compared to the reference group of people without insomnia, people with insomnia had RRs for CWP and pain-related disability of 1.64 (1.26– 2.14) and 1.63 (1.37– 1.94), respectively. When people with insomnia were categorized based on the number of nighttime symptoms, people who reported one, two, or three nighttime symptoms had RRs of CWP of 1.19 (95% CI 0.80– 1.78), 1.78 (95 CI 1.13– 2.80) and 3.08 (95% CI 1.93– 4.92), respectively, compared to people without insomnia. The corresponding RRs for pain-related disability were 1.49 (95% CI 1.17– 1.89), 1.46 (95% CI 2.04– 2.05), and 2.46 (95% CI 1.76– 3.42).Conclusion: These findings indicate that people with insomnia characterized by symptoms in all phases of the sleep period have a substantially increased risk of CWP and pain-related disability.Keywords: sleeplessness, insomnia disorder, chronic insomnia, musculoskeletal, pain, chronic, widespread chronic pain, relative risk, epidemiology
