%X We characterized comorbidity profiles and cardiometabolic risk factors among older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in New York City using an intersectionality approach. Electronic health record data were obtained from the INSIGHT Clinical Research Network on 367,901 New York City residents aged 50 years or older with MCCs. Comorbidity profiles were heterogeneous. The most common profile across sex and racial and ethnic groups was co-occurring hypertension and hyperlipidemia; prevalence of these 2 conditions differed across groups (4.7%-7.3% co-occurrence alone, 65.1%-88.0% with other conditions). Significant sex and racial and ethnic differences were observed, which may reflect accumulated disparities in risk factors and health care access across the life course.
