Understanding the association of disability with multimorbidity, and healthcare utilization in India’s older adult population: insights from cross-sectional evidence of SAGE-2
We observed that nine out of every 10 individuals had some kind of disability in India. We observed multimorbidity to be associated with disability that signifies the need for including disabilities as a part of NCD program as these factors could be bi-directional. Longitudinal studies for disability will be helpful to better understand and address the growing needs of these individuals.
