Adherence to asthma and COPD medication differs significantly by age

Adherence to asthma and COPD medication differs significantly by age, diagnosis and other demographics, suggesting an opportunity to tailor adherence education to each patient, according to new research from Propeller Health. According to the study of 8,385 patients, adolescents and adults less than 40 years of age with asthma were less adherent to their controller medication and had less well-controlled disease than other age groups. Adults over 60 and children with asthma were the most adherent and the most well-controlled, while medication adherence was lowest in young adults aged 18-29 at 39.5%.
