Aim:We aimed to evaluate adherence to treatment and lifestyle change recommendations in hypertensive individuals. Materials and Methods: Individuals older than 18 years and receiving hypertension treatment for the last 6 months were included. Patients were randomized by age and gender. A questionnaire was applied to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of both groups and to assess the treatment adherence and life change success of hypertensive individuals. Results: The groups were similar in terms of age, marital status, educational status, economic status. 50% (n=70) were female and 50% (n=70) were male. The mean age of the participants was 59.78±11.65 years (similar in both genders). It was found that there was no statistical difference between the values of Compliance to Treatment score according to gender (p=0.408). Adherence to Treatment and Life Change Success total score values did not differ according to gender (p=0.144). The relationship between age and adherence to medical treatment score was statistically significant as sperman correlation value (r=0.260) (p=0.002). The relationship between age and salt and prepared food consumption score was significant (r=0.294; p<0.001). The relationship between age and physical activity and weight control was statistically significant (r=0.212; p=0.012). Conclusion: Adherence and lifestyle changes are important factors for hypertension treatment and health professionals should use appropriate tools to assess these factors. These assessments can help patients adopt a healthy lifestyle by improving their adherence to treatment and help prevent serious complications.
