Differential use of antidiabetic medication related to income, cohabitation and area of residence: a Swedish nationwide cohort study
Low income levels, cohabitation and living in large cities were associated with non-adherence to antidiabetic medication and risk of treatment interruption. The results highlight the need for targeted interventions aiming at improving adherence to treatments both at patient and healthcare system levels.
