Longitudinal Trajectories of Multimorbidity and Psychosocial Resilience Resources in Midlife and Older Adults: Findings From the Health and Retirement Study
IntroductionThis study identified 10-year multimorbidity trajectories among midlife and older adults and examined whether psychosocial resilience resources are associated with trajectory group membership.MethodsUsing Health and Retirement Study data (2010-2020; n = 10,325), repeated measures latent profile analysis characterized trajectories based on the multimorbidity-weighted index (MWI). Resilience resources included psychological resilience, …
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Prediction of Future Health Care Utilization Through Note-extracted Psychosocial Factors
BACKGROUND: Persons with multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions) face an increased risk of poor health outcomes, especially as they age. Psychosocial factors such as social isolation, chronic stress, housing insecurity, and financial insecurity have been shown to exacerbate these outcomes, but are not routinely assessed during the clinical encounter. Our objective was to extract these concepts from chart notes using natural language processing and…
Measuring Multimorbidity: Selecting the Right Instrument for the Purpose and the Data Source
BACKGROUND: Adults have a higher prevalence of multimorbidity-or having multiple chronic health conditions-than having a single condition in isolation. Researchers, health care providers, and health policymakers find it challenging to decide upon the most appropriate assessment tool from the many available multimorbidity measures. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe a broad range of instruments and data sources available to ass…
