Sumario:The objective of this work was to determine the degree of pharmacotherapeutic adherence of patients with arterial hypertension in the Integral Center of the older adult (CIAM) of Santa Anita-Lima. It is a descriptive and prospective study. 27 patients from 59 to 88 years old participated. Two tests were used for adherence analysis: that of Morisky-Green-Levine and that of Hermes. To evaluate the concordance of results between both tests, the McNemar test was used. A 30 % adherence was obtained to antihypertensive treatment with the Morisky-Green-Levine test and a 41 % adherence with the Hermes test. When applying the McNemar test, in both tests were found 5 (18.5 %) adherent patients and 13 (48.1 %) nonadherent; with a total concordance of results between the both of them of 66.6 %.
