Flowchart of participants.
Fig 2.
Correlation between different chronic diseases, according to multimorbidity scale.
The size of the spheres represents the prevalence of diseases (HF = Heart failure, CRD = Chronic respiratory diseases, IHD = Ischaemic heart disease, CKD = Chronic kidney diseases, DEM = Dementia, ND = Neurological diseases, DM = Diabetes mellitus, PAD = Peripheral arterial disease, NP = Neoplastic diseases, AD = Autoimmune diseases, O = Osteoarticular diseases). Joined lines represent the strength of the correlation expressed as a percentage of the total.

Differences between variables and ability to perform respiratory manoeuvers.
*p<0.0001; # p<0.05. Sentence = unable to correctly complete sentence of MMCE. IP drawing = unable to correctly produce IP drawing of MMCE. * # red = bivariate analysis. * # blue = adjusted for multiple variables.
