In adjusted models, these relationships were robust to the confounding influences of age and physical injury history. Trauma exposure and bodily pain were substantive, independent predictors of FMS and CFS in causal-steps models (all P values &amp;lt; .05), implying additive rather than mediated effects (R2adj = 0.18\u20130.20).
