Does self-report of multimorbidity in later life predict impaired physical functioning, and might this be useful in clinical practice?

CONCLUSION: Self-report of 4 or more NCDs was associated with an increased risk of poor physical function, an outcome which has previously been associated with adverse clinical sequelae. This observation may inform development of a simple screening tool to look for poor physical function in older adults. PMID: 32056154 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
