dc.description.abstractMultimorbidity, the presence of two or more chronic conditions, is a significant global health issue, especially among older adults. Accelerated aging and a myriad of stressor factors related to displacement and socio-economic disadvantage position profoundly exacerbate physical health and well-being problems among refugees, including resettled Bhutanese older adults. Despite these risks, research on multimorbidity burden and its determinants among the resettled Bhutanese older adults is limited. This study aims to assess the prevalence of single and multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and identify associated factors among resettled Bhutanese older adults in Ohio.
