While, not counting on someone to trust (HR= 1.59; p< 0.03) and having a sense a lack of control over important decisions in life increased the mortality risk. Conclusions: Given that frailty and the SDH affect health using independent pathways, public health systems in Mexico could benefit from increasing the capacity of identifying frail and isolated older adults and providing a risk-stratified health care accordingly.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:43:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41908 95% 1.11–1.48), and also the tertiles of disability (2nd tertile: OR = 1.45, CI_95% 1.23–1.70; 3rd tertile: OR = 2.19, CI_95% 1.81–2.66). The presence of multimorbidity was associated with an increase of 13% in average OOP health costs (β = 0.13, CI_95% 0.01–0.25), and 16% for the 3rd tertile of disability (β = 0.16, CI_95% 0.01–0.31). We did not find significant interaction effects of multimorbidity and disability. Conclusions: Multimorbidity and disability appear to be important determinants of OOP health expenditures. The economic implications for the households and the health system should be highlighted, particularly in low- and middle-income countries because of the rapid growth of their aging populations.]]> Mon 15 Aug 2022 15:11:20 AEST ]]>
