Chronic multimorbidity among older adults in rural South Africa by Stephen Tollman, Francesc Xavier Gómez-Olivé, Joshua A Salomon, Julia K Rohr, Jennifer Manne-Goehler, Angela Y Chang, Collin Payne, Alisha N Wade, Livia Montana

“…The commonly observed positive relationships between multimorbidity and age and decreasing wealth were not observed in this population, namelydue to different epidemiological profiles in the subgroups, with higher prevalence of HIV and anaemia in the poorer and younger groups, and higher prevalence of cardiometabolic conditions in the richer and older groups. Both physical functioning and well-being negatively associated with multimorbidity.Discussion More coordinated, long-term integrated care management across multiple chronic conditions should be provided in rural South Africa.…”
