(a) Bubble chart for the prevalences observed. A larger bubble indicates a higher observed prevalence of the dyad. (b) Bubble chart for the associations between chronic diseases, measured with the chi2 statistic. A larger bubble indicates a stronger association between the diseases. CAN = cancer; CHD = coronary heart disease; AD = Alzheimer’s disease; CVD = cerebrovascular disease; DM = diabetes mellitus; HBP = high blood pressure; HF = heart failure; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DD = depressive disorder; AF = atrial fibrillation; ASTH = asthma; OP = osteoporosis; HT = hypothyroidism; HL = hyperlipidemia.
Table 2.
Observed and expected prevalence (assuming the diseases occur independently, and based on the prevalence of each disease in the population) of all disease dyads with a prevalence higher than 20%. Dyads with statistically significant odds ratio are highlighted in bold.
Table 3.
Observed and expected prevalence (assuming the diseases occur independently, and based on the prevalence of each disease in the population) of disease dyads with a prevalence higher than 20%, after excluding hypertension and congestive heart failure.
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.

Dendrogram for hierarchical cluster analysis by disease.
CAN = cancer; CHD = coronary heart disease; AD = Alzheimer’s disease; CVD = cerebrovascular disease; DM = diabetes mellitus; HBP = high blood pressure; HF = heart failure; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DD = depressive disorder; AF = atrial fibrillation; ASTH = asthma; OP = osteoporosis; HT = hypothyroidism; HL = hyperlipidemia.

Class-conditional probabilities of each disease estimated with the five latent classes model.
The higher class-conditional probabilities are highlighted in bold.
