GIST (Key Takeaways)
The concept of multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more long-term conditions, has become an important focus for research in the burden of ill-health associated with ageing.
A burgeoning literature shows that the prevalence of multimorbidity is substantial, even though estimates vary according to definition and method of ascertainment.1 Not many studies have taken a longitudinal approach and evaluated the incidence of multimorbidity.
In The Lancet Public Health, Eirion Slade and colleagues2 report on the incidence of multiple long-term conditions, also known as multimorbidity, in an electronic health records dataset for nearly the whole of England, UK.
