Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to identify multimorbidity patterns in patients from 19 to 44 years attended in primary care in Catalonia in 2010. DESIGN:Cross-sectional study. SETTING:251 primary care centres. PARTICIPANTS:530,798 people with multimorbidity, aged 19 to 44 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Multimorbidity was defined as the coexistence of ≥2 more International Classification system (ICD-10) registered in the electronic health record. Multimorbidity patterns were identified using hierarchical cluster analysis and by sex and age group (19-24 and 25-44). RESULTS:Of the 882,708 people from initial population, 530,798 (60.1%) accomplished multimorbidity criterion. Mean age was 33.0 years (SD: 7.0) and 53.3% were women. Multimorbidity was higher in the 25-to 44-years-old group with respect the younger group (60.5 vs. 58.1%, p<0.001), being higher in women. Most prevalent cluster in all groups included, among others, by dental caries, smoking, dorsalgia, common cold and other anxiety disorders. For both sexes in the 25-to 44-years-old group appeared the cardiovascular-endocrine-metabolic pattern (obesity, lipid disorders and arterial hypertension). CONCLUSIONS:Multimorbidity affects more than half of persons between 19 to 44-years-old. The most prevalent cluster is formed by grouping common diseases (dental caries, common cold, smoking, anxiety disorders and dorsalgias). Another pattern to highlight is the cardiovascular-endocrine-metabolic pattern in the 25- to 44 years-old group. Knowledge of patterns of multimorbidity in young adults could be used to design individualized preventive strategies.
