Analysis included 336 surveys completed between February 2020 and June 2024. Proportions and odds ratios (ORs) for extent of and reasons for nonadherence were determined across age groups, and logistic regression was used to determine relationships of nonadherence with age and other covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Medication nonadherence differed significantly across age groups 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50+ (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).

Black race and Hispanic ethnicity were also predictive of nonadherence across age groups. The &lt; 30 age group was more likely to report nonadherence due to inability to fill medications on time (OR 3.72, 95% CI 1.53-9.02) and needing to take medicines with food (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.06-6.13).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Younger patients reported greater extent of nonadherence, often due to logistical impediments. In addition to counseling young adults with SLE on the importance of medications, rheumatologists should, when possible, offer support to help them overcome challenges in obtaining and taking medicines. Approaches to understanding and intervening on medication nonadherence in SLE may need to be tailored by age.<\/jats:p>\n
