Abstract Background Measures of multimorbidity are often applied to source data populations or outcomes outside the scope of their original developmental work. As the development of a multimorbidity measure is influenced by the population and outcome used these influences should be taken into account when selecting a multimorbidity index. The aim of this study was to compare the strength of the association of health-related quality of life HRQOL with three multimorbidity indices the
