Rising burden of multimorbidity and related socio-demographic factors: a repeated cross-sectional study of Ontarians.
This study aimed to provide population-level data regarding trends in multimorbidity over 13 years. ⋯ Our study provides relevant and needed population-based information on the growing burden of multimorbidity, and related socio-demographic risk factors. Multimorbidity is markedly increasing among younger age cohorts. Also, there is an increasing complexity and lack of common clustering patterns at higher multimorbidity levels.
