Dynamics of frailty and multimorbidity with age. Complete population, and stratified by sex. Note: Multimorbidity is described as the percentage of the population that was multimorbid at each timepoint. A person was considered multimorbid if they had active diagnoses belonging to two or more distinct SNAC-K disease categories. The rest of variables are described as median interquartile range. Deficit were divided into two categories: disease-related deficits and deficits related to symptoms/signs, laboratory, and disability (SSLD). The dashed blue line represents the number of deficits from which the individual would be considered frail. Data from people aged 100 or more are aggregated. F: women; M: men.
