Information pertaining to multimorbidity is frequently informed by studies
from high income countries and it is unclear how these findings relate to low and middle
income countries, where the burden of infectious disease is high. South Africa has a
quadruple burden of disease which includes a high HIV prevalence and a growing burden
of non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to analyse the prevalence and patterns
(disease classes or clusters) of multimorbidity in South Africa.
