Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between specific combinations of chronic conditions and disability in Mexican older adults with diabetes. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of Mexican adults (n = 2558) with diabetes and aged 51 or older that used data from the 2012 and 2015 waves of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. The main outcome was an index that measured ability to perform activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. The main independent variables were diabetes multimorbidity combinations, defined as diabetes and at least one other chronic condition. The authors calculated the prevalence of each multimorbidity combination present in the sample in 2012 and used negative binomial regression models to estimate the association of the most prevalent of these combinations with disability incidence in 2015. RESULTS: The three most prevalent combinations were: 1) diabetes-hypertension (n = 637, 31.9%) 2) diabetes-hypertension-depression (n = 388, 19.4%) and 3) diabetes-depression (n = 211, 10.6%). In fully adjusted models comparing participants with specific multimorbidity combinations to participants with diabetes alone, the combinations that had an increased association with disability were diabetes-hypertension-depression, diabetes-depression and diabetes-hypertension-arthritis-depression. In nested models, the addition of arthritis to combinations including depression increased this association. CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with prior studies, multimorbidity combinations including depression were associated with increased risk of disability. However, the effect size of this relationship was lower than what had been previously been reported internationally. This highlights the need for globally oriented multimorbidity research.
