Comorbidity refers to the presence of one or more health conditions alongside a primary condition. For example, if someone has diabetes but also experiences high blood pressure and depression, the doctor treating the diabetes will consider those additional conditions to be “comorbidities.”
This term is related to multimorbidity, which means someone has more than one health problem, but all conditions are treated as equally important.
