Against the unprecedented level of urbanisation taking place in Tanzania, the burden of multimorbidity and its consequences among ageing adults, in the form of costly inpatient hospitalisation, remain unquantified.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>we used data from one of Africa\u2019s largest urban population cohort, the Dar es Salaam Health and the Demographic Surveillance System, to quantity the extent of multimorbidity (occurrence of 2\u2009\u2265\u2009health conditions) and discordant multimorbidity (occurrence of conditions in 2\u2009\u2265\u2009domains in mental health, non-communicable and communicable health) among 2,299 adults aged \u226540\u00a0years in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Although the severe forms of multimorbidity (2.0% with \u22654 health conditions) and discordancy were low, hospitalisation was significantly higher based on the regression analyses. Household food insecurity was the only socio-economic variable that was significantly and consistently associated with a greater hospitalisation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>we found an alarmingly high degree of multimorbidity among this ageing urban population where hospitalisation was driven by multimorbidity. As public health resources remain scarce, reducing costly inpatient hospitalisation requires multilevel interventions that address clinical- and structural-level challenges (e.g. food insecurity) to mitigate multimorbidity and promote long-term healthy independent living among older adults in Tanzania.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afab046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,12]],"date-time":"2021-02-12T20:16:46Z","timestamp":1613161006000},"page":"1349-1360","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Patterns of multimorbidity and their association with hospitalisation: a population-based study of older adults in urban Tanzania"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Tomita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Rural Health, School of Nursing and Public Health, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa"},{"name":"KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform, College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Germana H","family":"Leyna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania"},{"name":"Center for Population and Development Studies, Harvard T.
