The mean age of the HSD\/hEDS group was younger (36.3\u2009\u00b1\u200911.8) than the RG (45.7\u2009\u00b1\u200912.8). The HSD\/hEDS group had a statistically significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) earlier onset of pain (calculated in years) in contrast to the RG. In the HSD\/hEDS group, 80.1% had persistent pain; in the RG, 74.2% had persistent pain. The HSD\/hEDS group reported more pain locations (20.0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.9) than the RG (14.8\u2009\u00b1\u20098.8). The HSD\/hEDS group reported more problems performing leisure, social, and household activities than the RG; however, pain intensity was statistically significantly lower (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) in the HSD\/hEDS related to the RG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were indications that pain affected daily activities for people with HSD\/hEDS, who had earlier onset of pain, marked more pain locations, and had more persistent pain, but pain intensity was not as decisive in contrast to the RG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance Statement<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a comparison yielding statistically significant results (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), persons with hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) or hypermobility Ehlers\u2010Danlos syndrome (hEDS) reported earlier pain onset, longer pain durations, and a greater number of pain locations but surprisingly, lower pain intensity than the reference group which consisted of a mixed group of pain conditions. These pain characteristics affected daily activities, indicating a substantial impact on daily life for those with
