ABSTRACT
Many people living with dementia will also have multimorbidity comprising several other intercurrent, long-term and comorbid conditions. This article examines the relationship between such conditions in the context of dementia, giving an overview of the literature, including prevalence and some of the common conditions that can coexist with dementia. The theory and evidence-base will be tied together using a case study approach, to illustrate the complexity of managing comorbid conditions and multimorbidity alongside dementia, and explore some of the approaches that can be used by community nurses to support the overall health of people living with dementia that they work with.
