Our approach allowed us to account for the interaction between chronic conditions and determine the multimorbidity status of each participant in contrast to studies that conducted a latent class analysis, seeking to consolidate clustered participants, which were unable to account for the complexity of the possibilities. This type of study incurs misclassification error and the model can be applied to only a limited number of participants . When studies analyze morbidities individually, they can consider only a limited number of morbidity interactions . Also it is not necessary to apply a method dedicated to multimorbidity for a specific population because our method allows for self-determination of a multimorbidity pattern.
