Abstract
Poorer physical functioning that accompanies multimorbidity is persistent and may even increase over time. People, who acquire one or more diseases during the 3-year follow-up, already showed poorer physical functioning at baseline compared to people who remained healthy during these years. Post-hoc analyses, using the SCL-90 as an outcome measure, did show that multimorbidity was related to depressive and anxiety complaints. However, these complaints seem to decline over time.
