Overview

May warrant gender-aware adherence monitoring in metabolic care; leaves open efficacy of tailored interventions.

Structured PICO

How does gender impact medication adherence in patients with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases?

P
Population
Patients with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and heart failure
I
Intervention
Medication therapy for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases
O
Outcome
Medication adherence

Gender differences in medication adherence are multifactorial, highlighting the need for gender-customized interventions to improve adherence and reduce the burden of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

Limitations

  • Conflicting results in adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy
  • Limited evidence regarding adherence after acute myocardial infarction and stroke
  • Inconsistent findings in heart failure adherence studies

Cite This Study

Venditti et al. (2023) conducted a review in Metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Medication adherence vs. Gender differences was evaluated on Medication adherence. Gender significantly impacts medication adherence in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, with women generally exhibiting poorer adherence to therapies such as statins compared to men.
