There is a growing international and local body of evidence that functioning and physical health declines with advancing age and/or chronic disease status and co-morbidity. The situation is more complex for well-being; some report no decline, while others have shown that specific chronic diseases and co-morbidity affect well-being negatively. Yet ageing tends to increase the likelihood of chronic diseases, thereby confounding the effect of chronic disease status and co-morbidity on health and well-being. |
