Having low income, multiple chronic diseases and vision problems were also significant factors related to medication adherence. This study suggests that health literacy was negatively associated with medication adherence. Furthermore, KHLSQ is an appropriate tool for healthcare providers to use when assessing health literacy to predict older adults' medication adherence. This finding indicated that healthcare providers should select an appropriate health literacy measurement that suits their purposes and the population they serve, particularly for older adults.

Delirium is a common postoperative complication associated with prolonged length of stay, hospital readmission, and premature mortality. We explored the association between neighborhood-level characteristics and delirium incidence and severity, and compared neighborhood- with individual-level indicators of socioeconomic status in predicting delirium incidence. A prospective observational cohort of patients enrolled between June 18, 2010, and August 8, 2013. Baseline interviews were conducted before surgery, and delirium/delirium severity was evaluated daily during hospitalization. Research staff evaluating delirium were blinded to baseline cognitive status. Two academic medical centers in Boston, MA. A total of 560 older adults, aged 70 years or older, undergoing major noncardiac surgery. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to characterize each neighborhood's socioeconomic disadvantage. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) long form. Delirium severity was calculaof social disadvanta
