Influence of social determinants of health on quality of life in patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy
Our findings describe associations between social determinants of health and quality of life in patients aged 65-74 years with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. More illnesses, female gender, a lower education level, urban vulnerability, and less social support are associated with poorer quality of life, underscoring the need for a biopsychosocial approach in patient care.
