Prevalence and associated factors of physical-psychological-cognitive multimorbidity in Chinese community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study
This study highlights the burden of PPC multimorbidity in older adults in China, with key factors including long-term medication use, advanced multimorbidity, social frailty, and poor quality of life. It calls for a patient-centered care approach that addresses these issues, with future research focusing on larger, diverse samples to guide targeted interventions.
