The varying lack of sensitivity depending on the chronic condition and the respondent's sociodemographic status may bias estimates of demographic and socioeconomic gradients compared with indicators based on reports of individual chronic conditions. Differences between GCMI and list-based approaches should be more cautiously considered when monitoring chronic conditions in the population. These approaches should be viewed as complementary rather than contradictory or interchangeable.
