Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) is increasing. It is essential to develop strategies to prevent and manage MLTC; however, the biological mechanisms underlying MLTC are not yet clearly understood. We used UK Biobank data as part of the ADMISSION research collaborative to identify genetic drivers for MLTC. We used the UK Biobank (UKBB) self-reported illness data to characterise MLTC (defined...
