Abstract:

The objective was to estimate the prevalence of multimorbidity in the city of São Paulo and to verify the factors associated with the use of health services. This is a population based cross-sectional study based on data from the Health Survey in São Paulo. Descriptive analysis was carried out and logistic regression models were developed using multimorbidity and sociodemographic independent variables, living conditions and use of health services as the outcome. A total of 3,184 individuals aged 20 years or older participated, with a mean age of 43.8 years. The prevalence of multimorbidity was 50.7% among women, 62.5% among those who reported some health problem and 55.1% among those who used health services in the last 2 weeks. A higher prevalence was identified in those who used a health service due to a mental health problem (66.1%) and in those who reported higher health expenditures in the last month (55.4%). Multimorbidity was more frequent with aging, in the population with a higher economic level, with worse self-rated health, who used health services for 6 months or less, who reported a health problem, or who have a health plan and use polypharmacy.
