Frequency and Correlates of Multimorbidity Among the Oldest Old: Study Findings from the Representative "Survey on Quality of Life and Subjective Well-Being of the Very Old in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW80+)".

A large proportion of participants in very late life is multimorbid. Apart from health-related factors, also two sociodemographic factors (ie, living situation and network size) were associated with multimorbidity among the oldest old. This knowledge may help to identify individuals at risk for multimorbidity in very late life.
