The association between the ten-year trajectory of multimorbidity and depressive symptoms among the middle-aged and older adults: Results from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Our results highlight the substantial health effects of accumulating multimorbidity on depressive symptoms, showing a direct link between risk and accumulation rate. We urge focusing on depressive symptoms in those with multimorbidity to tackle the significant healthcare challenges arising from concurrent physical and mental health issues.
