Figure Lengend Snippet: For panel A, Intersections are exclusive (i.e., individuals are only represented in the graph once) and only intersections containing at least 10 individuals are shown. The bottom sub-panel shows the included chronic conditions (y axis), with the left section indicating the overall number ( N ) participants with each and the right section showing the specific disease combinations (represented by black circles). The top sub-panel shows intersection size, i.e., the percentage and number of participants with each disease combination. For panel B, known (disease) was defined as a self-report of having, or being on medication for a condition; treated was defined as being on a relevant medication for the condition; controlled was defined as, for HIV, CD4 count >350 cells/μl, for diabetes, an HbA1c of <6.5% and for hypertension, as a blood pressure of <140 mmHg systolic and <90 mmHg diastolic. These are presented as relative proportions of the total number of people with each condition (100%, with number of people with disease [ N ] shown in sub-panel header), stratified by sex, with their 95% confidence intervals (grey lines).
