Inequity in the distribution of non-communicable disease multimorbidity in adults in South Africa: An analysis of prevalence and patterns. International journal of public health, 67, 1605072. 10.3389/ijph.2022.16050721661-8564https://doi.org/10.3389/ijph.2022.1605072http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7876The present study examined the prevalence and patterns of noncommunicable disease multimorbidity by wealth quintile among adults in South Africa. The South African National Income Dynamics Study Wave 5 was conducted in 2017 to examine the livelihoods of individuals and households. We analysed data in people aged 15 years and older (N = 27,042), including self-reported diagnosis of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and anthropometric measurements. Logistic regression and latent class analysis were used to analyse factors associated with multimorbidity and common disease patterns.enMultimorbidityPublic healthDiabetesHeart diseaseSouth AfricaAdultsArticle
