Background and objective. Mental health problems could have an effect on the adherence to antihypertensive medication. The objective was to evaluate the association between the presence of depressive symptoms and adherence to antihypertensive medication. Patients and methods. A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in 424 patients with hypertension with ages between 40-59 years attending a private-care clinic center in Peru during 2014. The exposure variable (depressive symptoms) was measured with PHQ- 9, which was categorized in the absence of depressive symptoms, positive depressive symptoms, and other depressive disorder and major depression. The response variable (adherence to antihypertensive medication), was defined according to Morisky-Green scale. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence interval [OR (95% CI)] were calculated. Results. The frequency of positive depressive symptoms was 37.5%, and depressive disorder and major depression was 5.2%. 54.3% were non-adherent. The nonadherent proportion in patients with absence of depressive symptoms, positive depressive symptoms and depressive disorder or major depression was 34.9%, 84.8% and 95.5%, respectively (p <0.001). The number of drugs, the medication-taking frequency, the time on taking current medication, the presence of dyslipidemia, the use of beta-blockers and diuretics were associated with no adherence to antihypertensive medication, a bivariate level (p <0.05). In the regression models, people with positive depressive symptoms [2.43 (2.03 to 2.91)] and depressive disorder or major depression [2.74(2.27 to 3.31)] were more likely to be nonadherent than those with absence of depressive symptoms, which remained in the adjusted models. Conclusion. The depressive symptoms is associated with not being adherent to antihypertensive therapy in middle-aged patients. Longitudinal studies are suggested to evaluate causality.
