The presence of multimorbidity was associated with an increase of 13% in average OOP health costs (β = 0.13, CI95% 0.01–0.25), and 16% for the 3rd tertile of disability (β = 0.16, CI95% 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 ]]>
