“…Regarding multimorbidity, 21.7% (95% CI, 18.9-24.6) of the women had two or more chronic conditions among the 26 identified. Arterial hypertension and common mental disorders were the most prevalent, with 23.2% and 13.5%, respectively 25 …”

“…Arterial hypertension and common mental disorders were the most prevalent, with 23.2% and 13.5%, respectively. 25 From the total score of each dietary pattern identified and operated in quintiles, it was found that the highest adherence (fifth quintile) to the healthy dietary pattern occurred in older women (32.3%), those with higher education (35.5%), those belonging to economic classes A and B (30.0%), those with higher income (21.0%), ex-smokers (29.3%), and physically active women (43.2%). Regarding the risk dietary pattern, highest adherence to the pattern was more frequent in younger women (40.7%), those whose duration of study was between 11 and 14 years (26.7%), those belonging to economic classes A and B (21.5%), those with lower income (21.6%), those who were employed (24.0%), those who consumed alcoholic beverages excessively (53.3%), and those who were eutrophic (23.4%).…”

“…Other information present in the questionnaire, such as the medical diagnosis of arterial hypertension and diabetes, was used to confirm the presence of these specific chronic conditions. Using this strategy, 26 chronic conditions were identified 25 . The simultaneous occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in women was used to define multimorbidity outcome 2…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary patterns and prevalence of multimorbidity in women.Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 and included 1,128 women aged 20 to 69 years living in the urban area of São Leopoldo municipality, southern Brazil. Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of two or more chronic conditions, among the 26 identified. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to investigate the association between the three dietary patterns (healthy, risk, and Brazilian), using different models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioral, and nutritional status variables.Results: The results showed differences in the prevalence of adherence to different dietary patterns and multimorbidity across age groups, with a prevalence of multimorbidity and a healthy dietary pattern showing a direct linear trend with age, whereas the risk dietary pattern showed an inverse linear trend with age. The prevalence of the Brazilian dietary pattern remained constant despite differences in age. After adjustment, we found that women with greater adherence to the Brazilian dietary pattern showed a 40% reduction in the prevalence of multimorbidity compared with those with less adherence (prevalence ratio, 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-0.86). Conclusion:The results revealed that the prevalence of multimorbidity was significantly lower in women with greater adherence to the Brazilian dietary pattern and highlight the importance of dietary interventions in early adulthood as a way to prevent multimorbidity in women.
