Objective: To describe the prevalence and epidemic trends of several chronic multimorbidy among adult residents in 10 provinces(autonomous regions)of China over the past 14 years, and to analyze their multimorbidity patterns.

Methods: According to the fasting blood physiological and biochemical tests, physical measurements and questionnaires of 17 000 adult residents aged 18 years and above who were surveyed in 4 rounds of follow-up surveys in 2009, 2015, 2018 and 2023, the relevant indicators and disease history information of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, and various chronic diseases were obtained. Descriptive analysis was carried out to identify and compare several common combinations of multimorbidity in the population with 2 or more chronic disease conditions and the changing trends of 4 rounds of surveys.

Results: 35 712 observations from 17 000 adults revealed that the prevalence of multimorbidity in each round rose from 28.3% in 2009 to 38.9% in 2023, an increase of 10.6 percent. The prevalence of multimorbidity in different gender, age groups, and urban/rural populations showed an upward trend, while the prevalence of multimorbidity in urban and rural populations gradually tended to be the same over time. After grouping various patterns of multimorbidity, it was found that the prevalence of multimorbidity increased over the past 14 years. The main multimorbidity pattern in adults was hypertension combined with dyslipidemia and(or) other chronic disease conditions. The elderly multimorbidity pattern was mainly hypertension combined with dyslipidemia, while young and middle-aged people mainly had dyslipidemia combined with obesity or hyperuricemia.

Conclusion: The chronic disease status of the population is mostly combined. There are differences in the multimorbidity patterns of different age groups and genders due to their physiological differences.

: In heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the early diagnosis and proper treatment of comorbidities (CMs) are of fundamental relevance. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of CMs among real-world patients requiring hospitalisation for HFrEF and to investigate the effect of CMs on the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and on all-cause mortality (ACM). : The data of a consecutive HFrEF patient cohort hospitalised for HF between 2021 and 2024 were analysed retrospectively.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of self-reported delayed adverse events (DAEs), major AEs, and flares following COVID-19 vaccinations among patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) in Malaysia.

Methodology: An electronically validated survey from the COVID-19 vaccination in autoimmune diseases (COVAD) study group was distributed in July 2021 to patients with autoimmune diseases and healthy controls (HCs). The survey collected data on DAEs (any AE that persisted or occurred after 7 days of vaccination), any early or delayed major adverse events (MAEs), and flares following COVID-19 vaccination.

Objectives: Previous studies had reported the association between famine exposure in early life and subsequent non-communicable diseases risk. In current study, we aimed to evaluate the associations between famine exposure on multimorbidity prevalence and incidence in middle-aged and older Chinese population.

Methods: A total of 13,254 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011 were included in cross-sectional analyses.
