ABSTRACT

Over the decades much attention has been given to assessing the impact of medication adherence and the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic diseases. Medication adherence and Quality of Life are important tools for assessing disease outcome and treatment intervention outcomes. Patients with diabetes and hypertension, have lower QoL than other patients and should be prioritized during the planning of health services promotion. In this review, we have discussed the key factors such as education, income, occupation, age, gender and marital status and various barriers to non-compliance such as patient-related factors, health-related providers and aspects of the health care system. Understanding the importance of determining traits in patients with chronic diseases is important for health care providers. This review provides insights on inequalities in health status of population and reveals unmet needs in the community in implementing health policies. Keywords: Chronic diseases, Diabetes, Hypertension, Medication adherence, Quality of life, Socio-economic status
