What does it mean if a condition is described as 'comorbid'?

  1. It is highly contagious

  2. It exists with another illness

  3. It is in remission

  4. It has no known cure

The correct answer is: It exists with another illness

A condition being described as 'comorbid' means that it exists alongside another illness. This term is used to indicate that a patient is dealing with multiple health issues simultaneously. Option A is incorrect because comorbid does not refer to a contagious condition. Option C is incorrect because comorbid does not indicate a condition is in remission. Option D is incorrect because comorbid does not mean the condition has no known cure.
