State of multi-morbidity among adults in Cape Verde: findings from the 2020 WHO STEPS non-communicable disease survey
Older age, being married, and living in urban areas were associated with higher odds of multi-morbidity, while higher education and being a woman exhibited protective effects. These results underscore the need for a comprehensive approach in Cape Verde's healthcare system to address the growing burden of multi-morbidity.
