[Multimorbidity patterns in young adults in Catalonia: an analysis of clusters].

CONCLUSIONS: Multimorbidity affects more than half of persons between 19 to 44-years-old. The most prevalent cluster is formed by grouping common diseases (dental caries, common cold, smoking, anxiety disorders and dorsalgias). Another pattern to highlight is the cardiovascular-endocrine-metabolic pattern in the 25- to 44 years-old group. Knowledge of patterns of multimorbidity in young adults could be used to design individualized preventive strategies. PMID: 26706180 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
