Overview

Comparative analysis shows age-specific multimorbidity patterns in working-age males and females, indicating network complexities.

Key Points

  • About 46.61% of working-age inpatients in China experienced multimorbidity, with a higher prevalence in males at 51.40%.
  • The study identified 1,233 unique multimorbidity patterns in males compared to 881 in females, highlighting network complexity disparities.
  • Using logistic regressions, a significant link between unemployment and higher multimorbidity risk was found in males, while it was lower in females.
  • Age increases the complexity of multimorbidity networks, with males shifting toward endocrine and circulatory diseases as hub patterns emerge.
