Description
Wu and co-authors search in 2026 for unusual multi illness patterns among older adults in primary care in eastern China. Prior work stressed cardiometabolic clusters, but full co occurrence maps were unclear. They used health records from 39,172 people aged 65 and over who had a check up in 2022.
Twelve common diseases were analyzed by sex and age with rule mining on a network weighted frame. Hypertension, high blood lipids, and cataract were the most recorded diagnoses. Fifty eight rules met the set thresholds across the whole group. Beyond heart and metabolic clusters, the study maps patterns that routine cluster thinking would miss.
