Multiple Chronic Conditions

Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) refer to the presence of two or more long-term health issues, such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease, affecting a person simultaneously. These conditions often interact, complicating treatment and management. MCC is common, especially among older adults, and can impact overall health, quality of life, and healthcare needs. Managing MCC requires coordinated care to address all conditions effectively, prevent complications, and improve well-being.
