Multimorbidity in the working-age population in Brazil: sociodemographic and behavioral factors.
Article in Revista de saude publica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of multimorbidity in the Brazilian working-age population and analyze its determinants, with an emphasis on sociodemographic and behavioral aspects.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2019 National Survey of Health, involving employed individuals aged 18 years or older. The outcome was multimorbidity, characterized by the simultaneous presence of two or more chronic noncommunicable diseases, based on a list of 14 conditions. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to assess the association between sociodemographic variables, habits, behaviors, and health/service outcomes.
resultsAmong the 52,475 employed individuals, 22.6% (95%CI 21.9-23.2) had multimorbidity, which was more prevalent among: women; those aged 30 or older; those with lower levels of education; those who self-identified as white; and urban residents. Participation in public programs for physical activity, episodic heavy drinking, leisure-time screen time, self-rated health as fair/poor or very poor, a doctor's visit in the past year, and having health insurance were also positively associated with multimorbidity.
conclusionThe findings highlight the significant prevalence of multimorbidity among the working-age population in Brazil, with particular emphasis on social and behavioral determinants. These results reinforce the importance of health promotion strategies in multiple contexts, including workplaces, communities, and primary care settings.
