What is the prevalence of nonadherence to antihypertensive medications and its association with uncontrolled blood pressure?

P

Outcome
Nonadherence to antihypertensive medications and uncontrolled blood pressure

A high prevalence of nonadherence (45%) to antihypertensive medications is strongly associated with uncontrolled blood pressure, highlighting the need for adherence interventions.

Nonadherence to antihypertensive medications was noticed in 45% of the subjects studied and a higher proportion of uncontrolled BP (83.7%) was nonadherent to medication. Intervention models aiming to improve adherence should be emphasized.
