摘要
A large claims-based study has identified several comorbidity clusters in individuals with dementia, corroborating the notion that comorbid conditions are an important contributor to health outcomes. The complexity of comorbidities calls for a patient-centred approach for care. Importantly, good management of comorbidities can improve quality of life in progressive dementia.
