How Does Multimorbidity Affect Self‐Rated Health Among Older Adults in India: Mediating Role of Social, Functional and Behavioural Factors

Key Points

Self-rated health is negatively affected by multimorbidity, as various health parameters play crucial roles.
Key mediators include limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).
Assessment highlights that mobility restrictions, sleep problems, and pain contribute significantly to perceived health.
Managing multimorbidity is essential to improve health perceptions, as indicated by higher health care utilization.

Abstract

Functional health parameters such as limitations in ADL and IADL, mobility restrictions, sleep problems, pain and poor health care utilisation are potential mediators in the relationship between multimorbidity and SRH and thus should be paid attention to while managing multimorbidity in order to improve the overall perception about their health.
