Income and economic productivity loss associated with comorbidity: longitudinal analysis of linked individual-level data for a whole country

Conclusions This national longitudinal study found that disease is associated with income loss, but most of this impact is due to the distinct and independent impact of separate diseases. Nevertheless, there was a tendency for two or more diseases to disproportionately increase income loss more than the summed impacts of each of these diseases if experienced singly.
