Abstract

With the acceleration of global aging, chronic diseases have become a critical factor that threatens the elderly population. This study analyzed the current status and intervention measures of treatment burden among elderly patients with chronic disease comorbidity from economic, psychological, and social perspectives. Disparities between urban and rural areas, patient health literacy, and incomplete medical systems are the key factors that exacerbate this burden. Measures such as enhancing health literacy, optimizing medical insurance policies, promoting multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment models, and improving home care can alleviate the patient burden. Future efforts should focus on the diversification and individualization of treatment burdens, equitable resource allocation, enhancement of patient self-management capabilities, and improvement of patient quality of life.
