AB Multimorbidity  is  often  defined  as  the  presence  of  2  or  more  chronic  co-occurring  conditions.  Although  this  is  the  formal  definition,  most  clinicians  consider  multimorbidity  to  be  particularly  vexing  when  it  involves  a  broad  array  of  conditions  and  is  also  accompanied  by  functional  limitations,  cognitive  impairment  or  mental  health  concerns,  as  well  as  interactions  between  the  conditions  themselves  and  their  treatments.
