Overall, men and women spend about 60% of their remaining life in old age with two or more chronic diseases, although this proportion varies by up to 5 percentage points above and below between the two ends of the deprivation spectrum (Tables 2 and 3).<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">We show that the most deprived groups live, on average, fewer years in total than the least deprived groups, but spend almost the same number of years with MM. In terms of healthcare costs this implies that, although average lifetime resource-spend for both groups might be of a similar magnitude, it is shifted to younger ages for the most deprived groups. The evidence adds weight to the argument calling for a shift to the standard age-cost curve used in the national resource allocation formula to younger ages in deprived areas to reflect greater need earlier in the life course [3].<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">.<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">1.<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span>Chan MS, van den Hout A, Pujades-Rodriguez M, Jones MM, Matthews FE, Jagger C, Raine R, Bajekal M: Socio-economic inequalities in life expectancy of older adults with and without multimorbidity: a record linkage study of 1.1 million people in England.
