Time Preference for Immediate Gratification: Associations With Low Medication Adherence and Uncontrolled Blood Pressure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In search of innovative approaches to the challenge of uncontrolled hypertension, we assessed the association between preference for immediate gratification (i.e., high discounting rate), low medication adherence, and uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) in adults with hypertension.

Methods

Using a probability discounting model and the Collier-Williams hypothetical discount rate framework, participants in this cross-sectional study reported their preference for a smaller amount of money available immediately (high discount rate; immediate gratification preference) vs. a larger amount available 1 year later (low discount rate; delayed gratification preference). Multivariable Poisson regression was used to test the association of high discounting rates with low antihype
