THERAPY ADHERENCE OF 40-75 Y.O. HYPERTENSION RESPONDENTS USING MORISKY INSTRUMENT IN NGEMPLAK, SLEMAN, DIY (STUDY ON AGE, DEMOGRAPHY, SOCIAL, AND LIFE-STYLE FACTORS)
Abstract: Hypertension is
systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pessure (DBP)
≥90mmHg. The risk factors of hypertension consist of age, life-style,
demographic, and social factors. The risk factors have a significant
association with antihypertension adherence. Adherence is the suitability of
patient behavior to the prescriber’s recommendations. Morisky instrument can be
used to measure the level of hypertension therapy adherence. The aims of this

life-style, demographic, social factors among the subjects in Ngemplak, Sleman,
Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY). Total respondents were 63 respondents. The
observational study was done with cross-sectional design. Technique for
determining the location used random sampling, data were collected by door to
door in the villages of Morangan, Jimat, and Jelapan. Data analysis used chi square

adherent subjects to antihypertensive medication. There was no significant
difference between age, life-style, demographic, and social factors to the
level of hypertension therapy adherence. However, it was found that controlled
blood pressure (p-value<0.01) were significantly associated with therapy
adherence. This study also found that SBP at age 60-75 years and 40-59 years
