Fig. 3: Prevalence of multimorbidity by age using four definitions (MLTC 2+, MLTC 3+, MLTC 3+ from 3+, and mental–physical multimorbidity) and different data sources (GP records, UKB records, and/or hospital records).
From: Robustly measuring multimorbidity using disparate linked datasets
Prevalence of MLTC 2+ (top left), MLTC 3+ (top right), MLTC 3+ from 3+ (bottom left), and mental–physical multimorbidity (bottom right), identified using all three data sources (grey), primary care records along (green), UK Biobank records alone (blue), and hospital records alone (yellow); GP general practitioner, MLTC multiple long-term health conditions, MLTC 2+ ≥2 long-term conditions (LTCs), MLTC 3+ ≥3 LTCs; MLTC 3+ from 3+ ≥3 LTCs from ≥3 body systems, mental–physical multimorbidity ≥2 LTCs where ≥1 mental health LTC and ≥1 physical health LTC, UKB UK Biobank.
