Core Tip	Poor functional and recovery outcomes in patients with hip disorders are often linked to anxiety, depression, and postoperative pain. However, research identifying how anxiety and depression influence pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in older patients or their potential determinants is limited. Our findings indicate that a subset of older patients with THA experience anxiety and depression, which correlate with elevated levels of postoperative pain. Clinicians should closely monitor female patients, individuals with long-standing hip disease, alcohol consumers, and patients with high pain scores (assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale), as these groups are at a greater risk of psychological distress.
