Patient-related factors
There were 6 main factors relating to patients were demographics, physical and mental function, disease and treatment, family history, and menopausal factors. Having lower education levels was linked to poorer medication adherence. Poorer medication adherence was also linked to higher age of menopause.
Disease and treatment perceptions included misconceptions about osteoporosis and the lack of perceived benefit of therapy.
Health system-based factors
Health system-based factors associated with poorer medication adherence included care under different medical specialties and a lack of patient education. Poor accessibility to medication was also considered a factor.
Socioeconomic-related factors
Socioeconomic-related factors included location of residence and current smoking status. In addition, high treatment cost affected medication adherence. The financial condition of patients should be assessed by physicians when prescribing antiosteoporotic medications which are more expensive than others, and patients should be referred to social services if necessary.
Therapy-related factors
Therapy-related factors included higher dosing frequency and medication side effects.
Clinicians should keep these factors in mind in order to achieve high medication adherence in their patients, the researchers said.
