Almost two thirds of adults over 80 years of age have three or more chronic diseases. Comorbidity and multimorbidity are common terms to describe this but have you ever wondered what the difference is between them? This topic in palliAGED’s Evidence Centre has now been substantially updated and expanded to explain this and the impact of multiple chronic conditions on care at the end of life. It provides wide-ranging and extensively researched evidence summaries to guide aged care practice in this area. The Practice Centre pages also provide practical resources and tools that staff can use to support older people in their care.
