Patients enrolled in a managed care organization. Two thousand were hundred eighty black and white adults aged 65 and older and prescribed antihypertensive medication.

Low medication adherence was defined as a score less than 6 using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. The mean age of participants was 75.0+/-5.6, 30.7% were black, 26.5% used CAM, and 14.1% had low antihypertensive medication adherence. In managing blood pressure, 30.5% of black and 24.7% of white participants had used CAM in the last year (P=.005), and 18.4% of black and 12.3% of white participants reported low adherence to antihypertensive medication (<.001). After multivariable adjustment for sociodemographic information, depressive symptoms, and reduction in antihypertensive medications because of cost, the prevalence ratios of low antihyperten...Continue Reading
