Multimorbidity patterns and premature mortality in a prospective cohort: effect modifications by socioeconomic status and healthy lifestyles.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have explored the impact of multimorbidity patterns on premature mortality. This study aimed to assess the associations between multimorbidity patterns and long-term mortality and whether the associations were modified by socioeconomic status (SES) and healthy lifestyles.

Methods

Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 in the US. The latent class analysis was used to establish multimorbidity patterns based on 11 chronic conditions. Mortality outcomes were ascertained by linking with the public-use mortality data from the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Accelerated failure time models were used to estimate time ratios (TRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association
