The authors compared antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure control among middle-aged and older outpatients with schizophrenia and related those with psychotic disorders versus persons without any psychiatric illness. A total of 178 subjects were included in the investigation (89 patients with a psychotic disorder and 89 randomly selected, age-matched comparison subjects). Although the two groups had similar antihypertensive medication adherence, the patients with a psychotic disorder were significantly less likely to have had controlled blood pressure during the 1-year study period. The results highlight the need for clinicians to monitor closely the management of medical comorbidity in patients with schizophrenia and related disorders.
