A long-term British medical study has concluded that around one in three middle-aged people suffers from multiple illnesses.

The study periodically followed the lives of approximately 17,000 people born in England, Scotland and Wales, belonging to the age group born in 1970, in one week.

The survey, in which about 8,000 people participated, was prepared for University College London, and this work has been published in the BMC Journal of Public Health (Public Health).

And 34 percent of respondents had at least two chronic health conditions, such as blood pressure and mental health issues, between the ages of 46 and 48.
