Prevalent CFS and\/or FM were more common among women,\nadults aged 40 years and over, those with lowest income, and those with certain risk\nfactors for chronic disease (i.e. obesity, physical inactivity and smoking). After\ncontrolling for differences between the groups, people with CFS and\/or FM reported\npoorer health status than those with neither condition on 5 indicators of health status,\nbut not on the measure of fair\/poor mental health. Having both CFS and FM and having\nmultiple comorbid conditions was associated with poorer health status.<\/p>\n                  <\/sec>\n                  <sec>\n                    <title>Conclusion<\/title>\n                    <p>Co-occurrence of CFS and FM and having other chronic conditions were\nstrongly related to poorer health status and accounted for much of the differences in\nhealth status.
