Cluster 1 had the highest healthcare utilization and a high burden of both somatic and mental conditions, combined with low social status. Cluster 2, consisting primarily of younger women with mental conditions, showed high use of psychological services, and few somatic conditions. The largest cluster, cluster 3, had low healthcare utilization and consisted of individuals with common, manageable conditions, and relatively high social status. Cluster 4 was defined by older individuals with complex somatic conditions requiring frequent contact with general practitioners and specialists.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The identified clusters showed varying chronic condition patterns and levels of healthcare utilization.
