TL;DR
This study finds that adults with cognitive impairment in India are more likely to misreport their hypertension status, highlighting the need for better healthcare communication and support.
Contribution
The study introduces evidence that cognitive impairment significantly increases misreporting of hypertension in India, emphasizing the need for targeted healthcare interventions.
Findings
Cognitive impairment was found in 9.8% of Indian adults, with higher prevalence among females and those over 75 years.
Cognitively impaired individuals were 24% more likely to have hypertension compared to unimpaired individuals.
Cognitively impaired individuals were 2.7% more likely to underreport their hypertensive status.
Abstract
The study investigates the disparities between the prevalence of self-reported and measured hypertension among adults and the role of cognitive impairment in such disparities. The study used data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India, a nationally representative survey of 72,250 individuals. Percentage distributions were calculated for cognitive impairment, self-reported hypertension, and objective measures of hypertension along with the explanatory variables. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the association of cognitive impairment and other factors with self-reported and measured hypertension. Furthermore, the Propensity Score Matching method was used to estimate the effect of cognitive impairment on self-reported hypertension, measured hypertension, and the misreporting of hypertension. Cognitive impairment was found in 9.8% of Indian…
