What is the prevalence of nonadherence to antihypertensive medications and its association with uncontrolled blood pressure?
What is the prevalence of nonadherence to antihypertensive medications and its association with 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 may contribute to uncontrolled hypertension; leaves open whether adherence interventions improve BP control.
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.
