Why is physical pain included? It might as well say 50% of people eat food and brush their teeth regularly

Because people that have chronic pain issues often have issues with mental health. It tends to limit their capacity for healthy coping mechanisms such as exercise. Also you obviously have never conducted a study (or taken a statistics class, if you did you didn't learn anything) by making a post like that.
