Abstract
Aim: To examine whether lower medication adherence in individuals without documented Dementia or Cognitive impairment (DCI) is associated with subsequent clinically recognized DCI. Findings: Lower baseline medication adherence was associated with a modest increased risk for subsequent clinically recognized dementia or cognitive impairment. Message: Automated measures of medication adherence are available tools in many clinical settings that may be used to identify patients with unrecognized cognitive impairment or at increased risk for future dementia or cognitive impairment.
