Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between unhealthy lifestyle factors (individual and combined) and multimorbidity stratified by sex, in a national sample representative of Brazilians aged 50 years or older.

Among the 7918 study participants, the prevalence of multimorbidity was 75.8% (95% CI 73.7–77.7) among women and 58.7% (95% CI 56.0–61.3) among men. Among women, none of the analyzed behaviors presented an independent and statistically significant association (p
