This was a cross-sectional study of the ability of independently living healthy elders to follow a medication regimen. Participants were divided into a group with High Cognitive Function (HCF) or Low Cognitive Function (LCF) based on their scores on the ADAS-Cog. Thirty-eight participants aged 65 or older and living independently in the community followed a twice-daily vitamin C regimen for five weeks. Adherence was measured using an electronic 7-day pill box. The LCF group had significantly poorer total adherence than the HCF group (LCF: 63.9 ± 11.2%, HCF: 86.8 ± 4.3%, t36=2.57, p=0.007), and there was a 4.1 relative risk of non-adherence in the LCF group as compared to the HCF group. This study provides strong evidence that even very mild cognitive impairment in healthy elderly living independently in the community has a detrimental and significant impact on adherence to a medication regimen. This study has important implications for the conduct of clinical drug trials in this population.
