More than a third of adults have multiple health problems in midlife and the trend is getting worse, new research suggests.
A study found that 34% of people aged 46 to 48 have two or more long-term health conditions, of which at least one relates to physical health.
Issues include chronic back problems, mental ill-health, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and high-risk drinking.
The study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, found that those who grew up in poorer families (defined by the father being unskilled) were 43% more likely to have multiple long-term health problems in their late 40s than those who were wealthier.

Early behavioural problems predict adolescent mental health difficulties: Study ANI | Updated: Feb 13, 2021 19:52 IST
Cambridge [England], February 13 (ANI): A new study indicated that a substantial proportion of adolescent mental health and behavioural difficulties can be predicted years before they arise.
The research, led by the University of Cambridge and Royal Holloway, University of London, showed that children who experience certain behavioural challenges, like hyperactivity and anxiety, are more likely to go on to develop poor mental health in adolescence, such as emotional difficulties.
It also found that children with behavioural difficulties are more likely to experience problems as adolescents if they come from less affluent, or disadvantaged backgrounds.
