Overview

Observational study analyzes adherence to antihypertensive therapy in geriatric patients, suggesting sociodemographic factors impact outcomes.

Key Points

  • High adherence to antihypertensive therapy was observed in 96.7% of geriatric patients overall, indicating positive treatment behavior.
  • Education level (p = 0.039), occupation (p < 0.001), and knowledge level (p = 0.012) showed significant relationships with therapy adherence.
  • A quantitative analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional approach, covering 60 geriatric hypertensive patients from a single hospital.
  • Findings highlight the need for targeted health education and support strategies to improve adherence among geriatric patients with limited knowledge.
