Symptoms provide predictive information on daily functioning beyond signs and diseases in middle-aged and older adults, particularly those with multimorbidity
Key Points
The study aims to explore how symptoms influence daily functioning in middle-aged and older adults with multimorbidity.
Analyzed the relationship between symptoms, signs, and diseases on functioning.
Focused on middle-aged and older adults with multimorbidity.
Utilized statistical methods to assess variability in functional limitations.
Symptoms and signs accounted for more variability in functional limitations than diseases.
Emphasized the importance of a symptom-oriented approach in clinical settings.
Abstract
In people with multimorbidity, symptoms and signs explain more variability in functional limitations than diseases alone, supporting the need for a symptom-oriented approach in clinical care and research.
Symptoms provide predictive information on daily functioning beyond signs and diseases in middle-aged and older adults, particularly those with multimorbidity | Synapse
