The epidemiology of Non-Communicable Chronic Morbidities (NCCMs) is crucial in informing prevention and control initiatives for health systems in the developing world to handle the extra disease burden common in the aging population. Unfortunately, such evidence on the NCCMs and the associated factors remains scarce in Uganda and in Bugisu Sub-Region in particular just like in the rest of the Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, against this background, a study was undertaken to establish the prevalence of NCCMs and its associated factors among the elderly persons aged 60 years and above in Bulambuli District, Eastern Uganda.
