This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 1003 women aged \u226540 years attending Brazilian Basic Health Units to assess multimorbidity (\u22652 chronic conditions) and its patterns (cardiometabolic, musculoskeletal, and neuropsychological). An adjusted logistic regression revealed that postmenopausal status (OR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.05\u20134.48) and an age of \u226570 years (OR: 2.85; 95% CI: 1.16\u20136.99) were key risk factors for multimorbidity. Notably, 86% of hypertensive women had multimorbidity, most frequently dyslipidemia (50%), type 2 diabetes (37%), and thyroid disorders (18%). The cardiometabolic pattern (86% prevalence) was strongly associated with hypertension, especially among women aged \u226550 years (OR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.10\u20133.98) and those with obesity grade I+ (OR: 2.30; 95% CI: 1.36\u20133.89). Musculoskeletal disorders were associated with postmenopausal status (OR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.05\u20135.51) and obesity (OR: 1.92; 95% CI: 1.08\u20133.43), while neuropsychological diseases showed no significant associations. These findings highlight that hypertensive climacteric women\u2014especially postmenopausal, older, or those with obesity\u2014face elevated risks of cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal multimorbidity, underscoring the need for targeted preventive strategies in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22091360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T16:18:15Z","timestamp":1756484295000},"page":"1360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Multimorbidity Patterns in Climacteric Women with Hypertension"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4452-3255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliene Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Costa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Sciences (Exercise and Sport Science), The University of Western Australia, Perth 6009, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5321-8041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Luiza","family":"Amaral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology, Physical Education and Physical Therapy Department, Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38400-678, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia Buiatte","family":"Tavares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology, Physical Education and Physical Therapy Department, Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38400-678, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aline Keli de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Clinic, Clinical Hospital of Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Par\u00e1 Avenue, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38405-320, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Clara Ribeiro","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology, Physical Education and Physical Therapy Department, Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38400-678, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juliana Cristina","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology, Physical Education and Physical Therapy Department, Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38400-678, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9093-6640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guilherme Morais","family":"Puga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology, Physical Education and Physical Therapy Department, Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia, Uberl\u00e2ndia 38400-678, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1016\/j.maturitas.2020.05.018","article-title":"The World Health Organization (WHO) approach to healthy ageing","volume":"139","author":"Rudnicka","year":"2020","journal-title":"Maturitas"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arr.2017.05.003","article-title":"Evidence on multimorbidity from definition to intervention: An overview of systematic reviews","volume":"37","author":"Xu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ageing Res.
