Channel: Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA/ÉLCV)
Date: 29/05/2017

Many people have more than one chronic health problem. These diseases add up, and the combined effect is more important than the effect of any one problem alone. Using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), this webinar will examine the relationship between disease combinations and if they are more common in older people, or in people with lower income and education.
