Shorter hypertension duration marks lower adherence risk in rural patients; supports targeted interventions but leaves causal inference and generalizability open.
Hu et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=318). Long duration of hypertension vs. Shorter duration of hypertension was evaluated on Adherence to medication schedule (OR 3.44, 95% CI 1.99-5.97). Longer duration of hypertension was significantly associated with higher odds of adherence to medication schedules (OR 3.44; 95% CI 1.99-5.97) among rural hypertensive patients.
