We analyzed the existing evidence of age as a determinant of medication adherence in patients with CHF. A systematic search of the bibliographic database MEDLINE and all Cochrane databases was performed. Studies were included if they examined medication adherence in adult patients with CHF, evaluated factors contributing to medication adherence, and analyzed the relationship between age and medication adherence.

Seven studies showed a statistically significant relationship between age and medication adherence: six articles demonstrated that increased age is correlated with higher medication adherence, and one study showed that patients in the age range of 57 to 64 years are affected by non-adherence to angiotensin-converting enzyme in...Continue Reading
