Low adherence to antihypertensive medication remains a public health challenge. Understanding barriers to, and determinants of, adherence to antihypertensive medication adherence may help identify interventions to increase adherence and improve outcomes. The Cohort Study of Medication Adherence in Older Adults (CoSMO) is designed to assess risk factors for low antihypertensive medication adherence, explore differences across age, gender, and race subgroups, and determine the relationship of adherence with blood pressure (BP) control and cardiovascular outcomes over time. Between August 2006 and September 2007, 2194 participants, age 65 years and older, taking antihypertensive medication were recruited and enrolled in CoSMO and completed a baseline telephone survey. Antihypertensive medication adherence was assessed with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) and the medication possession ratio (MPR). Low adherence was defined as a MMAS score < 6; non-persistent MPR was defined as <0.80. BP data were abstracted from outpatient electronic medical records; uncontrolled BP was defined as systolic or diastolic BP ≥140 or 90 mmHg, respectively. The mean age of participants was 75.0 ± 5.6 years, 58.8% were women, 30.7% were black, and 83.6% were taking 2 or more classes of antihypertensive medication. Overall, 14.1% of participants had low adherence, 27.0% had a non-persistent MPR, and 33.7% had uncontrolled BP. Participants with low MMAS were 2.71 (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.31-3.18) times more likely to have non-persistent MPR and 1.20 (95% CI 1.00-1.43) times more likely to have uncontrolled BP than participants with high MMAS. Low antihypertensive medication adherence and uncontrolled blood pressure are common in older, insured patients. Research identifying barriers to achieving antihypertensive medication adherence may assist in developing tailored interventions to increase medication adherence and improve outcomes.
