Self-Reported Adherence to Nonpharmacological Treatment and Association with Mortality over 6 Years: Population-Based Study in Older Persons with Hypercholesterolemia
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 10/28/09

Leon–Munoz LM et al. – Most (83.8%) persons with known hypercholesterolemia reported adherence to at least one nonpharmacological measure, and 29.5% adhered to three measures. Those who reported increasing their physical activity had less mortality than those who did not (hazard ratio (HR)=0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.46–0.99; P<.05). Persons with hypercholesterolemia who reported adherence to one, two, or all three nonpharmacological measures had lower mortality than those who reported adherence to none of the measures (49%, 41%, and 60%, respectively, P for linear trend .002). No independent association with mortality was found for weight control or loss or dietary measures.
