Medication adherence in the elderly is an important area of study. This population is prescribed the highest rate of medications and also experiences age related cognitive declines, which have an impact on medication adherence. Prospective memory (PM), or remembering to remember, is a key variable in medication adherence. PM has been conceptualized as including both retrospective memory and executive functioning (Kliegel et al., 2002), both of which may be compromised in elderly individuals. The current study examined neuropsychological functioning and task specific interviews that tapped both memory and executive functioning as predictors of medication adherence over a two week period of time as measured by electronic monitoring. Participants (N = 30) were 60 years of age and older and were cognitively intact as measured by the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). Age, education, reading ability, total number of medications prescribed, and socio-economic status were not significantly related to medication adherence. Retrospective memory, as measured by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test revised, was found to significantly correlate with medication adherence (r(28) = .415 p < .05) explaining approximately 17% of the variance in medication adherence in regression analysis. Executive functioning and task specific measures were not significantly related to medication adherence. Results suggest that retrospective memory may be the best cognitive predictor of adherence in relatively high functioning elderly individuals.
