Abstract:The semantic problem of designation of a set of diseases is a subject for wide discussion both in the world medical community and in Russia. The article analyzes and clarifies the definitions of “polymorbidity”, “comorbidity” and “multi-morbidity” proposed to refer to the plurality of diseases in one patient. This allows you to objectively look at such a complex and multifaceted problem, which is a multiple pathology.
