Exploring the Intersection of Multimorbidity and Financial Toxicity Among Older Adults: Findings from the UK‐ADRC Cohort
This study found that multimorbidity was prevalent among older adults in this cohort, and better financial well-being was linked to fewer comorbidities, older age, and higher educational attainment. Future research and larger studies with more participants with MCI and dementia are needed to investigate the nuanced interplay between patterns of multimorbidity and financial burden, coping strategies, and health-related quality of life in older adults with ADRD and their families.
