Using year 2000 data from the Health and Retirement Study, a survey of a nationally representative sample of adults aged andgt;/=50, we evaluated whether respondents with a history of cancer had excess risk for pain, depression, and fatigue compared to those without a history of cancer. We also compared clustering/co-occurrence of symptoms. Controlling for the confounding effects of comorbidities, sociodemographic, and access to care factors, respondents with a history of cancer had higher risk for fatigue (OR=1.45; 95 CI=1.29,1.63), depression (OR=1.21; 95 CI=1.06,1.37), and pain (OR=1.15; 95 CI=1.03,1.28). Symptom clusters were also more prevalent among those with a history of cancer (Pandlt;0.001), with the pain-depression-fatigue cluster as most prevalent.}, keywords = {Health Conditions and Status, Risk Taking}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/}, author = {Reyes-Gibby, Cielito C. and Aday, Lu Ann and Anderson, Karen O. and Mendoza, Tito R. and Cleeland, Charles S.} }
