Prevalence of low medication adherence by number of life events, stratified by coping level, among CoSMO participants, 2007–2008. Antihypertensive medication adherence was measured at the 1-year CoSMO follow-up survey by using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8): Low medication adherence was defined as an MMAS-8 score of less than 8. Life events over the last year were measured at the 1-year CoSMO follow-up survey by using the Holmes Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS). Coping was measured at the baseline Cohort Study of Medication Adherence among Older Adults (CoSMO) survey by using a 7-item coping scale: Low and high coping scores are defined as scores above and below the median for the sample, respectively.
