Regarding conditions, 3 studies examined chronic nonspecific pain, 2 focused on fibromyalgia, 5 on arthritis-related conditions, and 1 on spinal pain. The pooled prevalence of sleep problems was 60.3% in Asians (95% CI, 35.8\u201384.9), 50.5% in Black individuals (95% CI, 24.5\u201375.6%), and 48.2% in White individuals (95% CI, 21.4\u201375.0%).
