Question

Older people are likely to underreport __________, perhaps because of beliefs that these are inevitable parts of life.

Answer 1

The correct answer is somatic symptoms.

These are pains that people have in parts of their body but there is no reason for those pains. Physically they are healthy but they are in pain because their mind causes the pain because of stress or anxiety or anything similar that might exist due to their lives. Somatic pains are real because they are real in the head of the person.
