Association of Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity With Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity is increasing.

Objective

To estimate reductions in life expectancy associated with cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Design, setting, and participants

Age- and sex-adjusted mortality rates and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using individual participant data from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (689,300 participants; 91 cohorts; years of baseline surveys: 1960-2007; latest mortality follow-up: April 2013; 128,843 deaths). The HRs from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration were compared with those from the UK Biobank (499,808 participants; years of baseline surveys: 2006-2010; latest mortality follow-up: November 2013; 7995 deaths). Cumulative survival was estimated by applying calculated age-speci
