Abstract:Older patients with caregivers who assisted managing their medication-taking had better adherence. Those receiving aid from their caregivers were significantly less likely to have complaints regarding their medications as opposed to those not requiring a caregiver. This highlights the importance of having support for medication-taking in patients with co-morbidities to assist with better adherence.
“…Third, considering that this study is including old population cohort, specific factors including individual status of management by caregivers or comorbidities.

Lastly, the study design is a cross-sectional one, hence, a direct causal relationship could not be established.…”
