Socioeconomic context, individual characteristics, and multimorbidity among older adults: a nationwide cross-sectional studyolder adult multimorbidity social environment health surveys.<p><b>Objectives:</b> The study investigated the prevalence of multimorbidity among older adults and its association with socioeconomic context and individual characteristics.<br> <b>Methods:</b> This cross-sectional study was based on data from the 2019 National Health Survey. Multimorbidity was assessed using a list of 14 physical and mental morbidities, with the cut-off considered ≥ 2 simultaneous conditions. The Municipal Human Development Index represented the contextual factors. The association between multimorbidity, individual characteristics, and socioeconomic context was assessed through multilevel logistic regression with random intercepts.<br> <b>Results:</b> The overall prevalence of multimorbidity was 58.12% (95% CI 57.00–59.23). Individual factors associated with multimorbidity were: female sex, older age, divorced/single marital status, lower education level, physical inactivity, and non-smoking status. The likelihood of multimorbidity was 24% higher among residents of more developed areas (95% CI 1.07–1.44).<br> <b>Conclusion:</b> According to our results, over half of older Brazilians have multimorbidity. One noteworthy finding of this study is the association between multimorbidity and socioeconomic context, i.e., residents of states with a higher Municipal Human Development Index had higher odds of multimorbidity.</p>Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia2025-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlhttps://ggaging.com/details/1861Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging v.19 n.0 2025reponame:Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Online)instname:Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologiainstacron:SBGG10.53886/gga.e0000254_ENinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng Rodrigues,João Vitor Farías-Antúnez,Simone Corseuil,Claúdia Weber Gieh,Maruí Weber Corseuil2025-01-01T00:00:00Zoai:ggaging.com:1861Revistahttp://sbgg.org.br/publicacoes-cientificas/revista-geriatria-gerontologia/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpexecutiveditors@ggaging.com||nacional@sbgg.org.br2447-21232447-2115opendoar:2025-01-01T00:00Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Online) - Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologiafalse |
