Abstract

The missing piece: Why clinicians, epidemiologists, and policymakers need prediction intervals in a meta-analysis Delpino and colleagues have touched upon a very important topic in multiple long-term medical conditions-multimorbidity (MLTC-M). 1 Being overweight and having obesity leads to an elevated risk of developing MLTC-M (RR: 1.26, 1.12-1.40, I 2 of 98%; RR: 1.99, 1.45-2.72, I 2 of 99%) as reported by this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA).The authors have summarized the results from published studies.
