SUMMARY:

Introduction: The Lower Limbs pain (LLP) is one of the main complaints in elderly individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), working as a marker for functional decline and loss of autonomy in the elderly, through painful stimuli that are more commonly experienced as pinpricks, tingling, and numbness. Objective: To investigate the relationship between lower limb pain complaints and sociodemographic, clinical-functional, and psychocognitive data in elderly individuals with T2DM. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study conducted at Onofre Lopes University Hospital in Natal, Brazil. Elderly individuals aged 60 years or older diagnosed with T2DM participated in the study. The elderly participants were evaluated through a multidimensional survey, including sociodemographic, clinical-functional, and psychocognitive data. Additionally, the following instruments were used: Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), Abbreviated Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), WHODAS 2.0, and Mini-BESTest (MiniBEST) for cognitive deficit screening, depressive symptoms, functional mobility, functional capacity, and postural balance, respectively. Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests were performed, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis (p<0.05 and 95% CI). Results: The sample consisted of 150 elderly individuals with a mean age of 69.4 (±6.95) years, with the majority being female (65.0%) and reporting lower limb pain complaints (53%). The final regression model showed that the pain complaint was significantly associated with overall health (p<0.001; [2.09-13.06]), GDS (p=0.024; [1.03-1.51]), and motor TUGT (p=0.002; [1.09-1.52]), and this model had an accuracy of 81.8%. Conclusion: This study suggests that the symptom of pain can lead the elderly to have a worse perception of overall health, and factors such as the presence of depressive symptoms and impairment in functional mobility are also related to pain complaints in elderly individuals with T2DM.
