More than 87% of the participants reported having at least one chronic condition, and more than 63% had at least two chronic conditions. The most frequent chronic diseases were arthritis/rheumatism, vision impairments and hypertension, with an overall prevalence of 41.0%, 40.5% and 23.9%, respectively (Table 2). For women, the most represented chronic conditions were arthritis and rheumatism (47.7%), vision impairments (43.3%), anxiety/depression (24.6%) and sleeping troubles (25.3%) (Table 2). For men, the most represented chronic conditions were vision impairments (37.5%), arthritis and rheumatism (33.8%) and hypertension (27.4%). The proportion of multimorbidity was greater for women than men (67.3% and 60.0%, respectively). For men and women, presence of an increasing number of chronic conditions increased with increasing age (Table 2). The proportion of each morbidity increased with age for men (hypertension– 55–59 years: 20.3%, ≥ 70 years: 32.6%; arthritis and rheumatism– 55–59 years: 22.7%, ≥70 years: 43.5%) and women (hypertension– 55–59 years: 16.9%, ≥70 years: 26.6%; arthritis and rheumatism– 55–59 years: 38.7%, ≥70 years: 60.9%), except for 4 conditions for which no increase was observed (hearing impairment, nose and throat impairments, digestive impairments, osteoporosis, sleeping troubles). The prevalence of only anxiety/depression tended to decreased with age for men (55–59 years: 15.3%, ≥70 years: 9.9%) and women (55–59 years: 26.9%, ≥70 years: 22.2%), but this decrease was greater for women. Other chronic conditions, such as sleeping troubles, had a higher frequency among women than men regardless of age group [men (55–59 years: 13.1%, ≥70 years: 14.6%) and women (55–59 years: 26.6%, ≥70 years: 27.2%)].
