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.enHealth and Medical Publishing GroupOlder people -- Health and hygiene -- South Africa -- TshwaneAging -- South Africa -- TshwaneChronic diseases -- Psychological aspectsAge factors in disease -- South Africa -- TshwaneWell-being -- Age factors -- South Africa -- TshwaneArticle
