ABSTRACT

Multimorbidity has become a great challenge to the health service system in China,and cardiometabolic multimorbidity is one of the major multimorbidity patterns worldwide. The mechanisms of the bidirectional relationship between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and depression are complex. Their co-occurrence significantly increases the burden of diseases and the risk of adverse prognosis for patients. This review focuses on the implication of reciprocal interaction between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and depression for general practice to provide insights to the health management of multimorbidity populations.
