Table 4. Observed and expected prevalence (assuming the diseases occur independently, and based on the prevalence of each disease in the population) of disease triads with an observed prevalence higher than 10%.

Each row concerns one disease triad, and each chronic condition included in the triadi s marked with an (X). Rows with a statistically significant difference between the observed and expected prevalences are highlighted in bold.
