Características epidemiológicas de la pluripatología y su influencia en la utilización de servicios sanitarios a partir de una encuesta de salud. Madrid, 2007

Resumen

The prevalence of comorbidity was higher in women, in older people, with smaller level of studies or in more disadvantaged social classes. Comorbidity was associated with the obesity and with consumption of tobacco or alcohol. The utilization of the healthcare services enlarged with the comorbidity. These indicators can be complementary, because of their differential association with each healthcare level.
