The association of multimorbidity within cardio-metabolic disease domains with dietary patterns: A cross-sectional study in 129 369 men and women from the Lifelines cohort.

Robust associations between dietary patterns and multimorbidity within the cardiometabolic domain, in particular a "meat, alcohol and potato pattern", suggest an important opportunity of dietary interventions in multimobidity prevention. Generic prevention strategies based on population derived dietary patterns may have the potential to enhance lifestyle management among people with multimorbidity.
