In addition to fibromyalgia questionnaire, anxiety, stress, post traumatic stress disorder, insomnia and refugees� demographical details were collected. Logistic regression was used to examine predictors to fibromyalgia; all variables were included as possible predictors. The results of the current study showed that 23.7% (n=91) of refugees had moderate to severe fibromyalgia. Logistic model was statistically significant (P=0.001). The model explained 60% of the variance in fibromyalgia categories and correctly classified 84.9% of the cases. Refugees live in Irbid city were 7.58 times more likely to exhibit fibromyalgia compared to refuges lives in Zarqa city. Increase age was associated with an increase likelihood of exhibit fibromyalgia. Increase post traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety scores were associated with higher fibromyalgia. This study showed higher fibromyalgia prevalence among refugees in Jordan. In addition, refugees live in Irbid city, older, anxious, and stressed after displacement were associated with higher fibromyalgia. The study recommend to assess fibromyalgia among all refugees in Jordan and consider these factors that showed to be associated to fibromyalgia when assess refugees.
