“…A recent population-based cohort study in Sweden found that the greater dependence of the elderly adults was from multimorbidity [ 18 ]. On the other hand, the pattern of positive associations between multimorbidity and hospital resource utilization has been consistently reported across a range of other studies [ 21 , 22 , 43 ]. There is a considerable variation in health care utilization and costs in individuals with and without multiple chronic conditions [ 44 ].…”

“…Multimorbidity (≥2 chronic diseases) is common in older adults. There have been many studies exploring the correlations of multimorbidity, functional status [ 18 20 ] and hospitalization [ 21 , 22 ]. A population-based study in Brazil showed that disability was strongly associated with hospitalization, yet it also suggested that functional health dimensions have not oriented health services, still largely conditioned on the presence of diseases [ 23 ].…”

“…Diagnostic failure in the North/Northeast and South/Southeast regions was also higher among individuals with only one reported chronic disease. The hypothesis for this result consists in the attitudes of greater needs and search for health services among patients with simultaneous diseases, consequently increasing the probability of knowing the diagnosis 17,21,22 . Studies carried out at the national 23 and international levels 24 show the trend of greater demand for medical care among the elderly with multimorbidity, and this clinical condition is related to greater risks of complications and unfavorable outcomes in the more advanced age groups.…”

“…As doenças crônicas são um dos principais determinantes da hospitalização de idosos. Com o aumento rápido do envelhecimento da população, a prevalência de idosos com múltiplos problemas crônicos atingiu 60% 31 . Os motivos das hospitalizações relatadas na amostra estudada foram cirúrgicos e cardiovasculares.…”
