The longitudinal dynamics between treatment burden and self-care behaviours remain less understood, with particularly limited understanding of how the temporal relationship may influence BP control.Objective: This study sought to examine the temporal relationship between treatment burden and self-care while investigating their collective longitudinal impact on both systolic BP levels and hypertension control.Methods: We investigated a community-based longitudinal cohort of 1718 hypertensive patients (mean age 54.6 ± 11.9 years; 28.5% with coexisting diabetes). …”
