Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Social Epidemiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Social health inequity and multimorbidity are closely linked.
  • Pathways driving this association are complex and largely operate outside the healthcare system.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare systems must consider social determinants of health to effectively address multimorbidity.
  • Shifting investment towards primary care alongside specialized services is crucial to reduce health inequity.
  • Current trends in healthcare investment risk exacerbating disparities for individuals with lower social positions and multiple chronic conditions.
