Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST enefR0x1. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Aim : Comorbidity is of increasing interest because of the rising prevalence of chronic disease in the next years due to the aging of the population and the development of medical possibilities. Cardiovascular disorders are particularly important because of their high prevalence, especially among older persons. We studied the prevalence and cooccurrence of chronic cardiovascular disorders and other chronic disorders. |
