Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Multimorbidity in centenarians is common; although investigations of the prevalence of morbidity in centenarians are accumulating, research on profiles of co-occurrence of morbidities is still sparse. Our aim was to explore profiles of comorbidities in centenarians. METHOD:Health insurance data from 1,121 centenarians comprising inpatient and outpatient diagnoses from the past 5 years (2009-2013) were analyzed using latent class analysis with adjustments for sex, age, hospitalization, and long-term care. RESULTS:Four distinct comorbidity profiles emerged from the data: 36% of centenarians were categorized as "age-associated"; 18% had a variety of comorbidities but were not diabetic were labeled "multimorbid without diabetes"; 9% were labeled "multimorbid with diabetes"; and 36% "low morbidity." CONCLUSION:Patterns of comorbidities describe the complexity of geriatric multimorbidity more appropriately than an approach focused on a single disease. The profiles described by this specific research may inform clinicians and health care planners for the oldest old.
