Self-reported ADHD symptoms among pharmacy students: prevalence of positive ADHD symptom screening, academic correlates, and implications for educational support.

Multimorbidity refers to the presence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual. These conditions often span different physiological domains (e.g., cardiovascular, endocrine), and many—such as lipid disorders—directly contribute to the onset and progression of cognitive decline. As chronic diseases accumulate, they can interact in ways that impair compensatory mechanisms, increasing the likelihood of both physical and cognitive deterioration. Cognitive impairment, in turn, reduces an individual's ability to manage their health, creating a self‐reinforcing cycle. : The authors reviewed PubMed and recent dementia literature through September 2025 on multimorbidity, cognitive impairment, and multimorbidity‐oriented clinical decision support. Prior work links accumulating chronic disease burden to dementia risk, but most studies define multimorbidity from diagnosis codes alone and rarely operationalize management using transparent, rule‐based decision‐support software.
