Medication adherence is a complex behavior, and interventions are often used for increasing the adherence of patients. Demographic characteristics are essential for any research. This study tries to find the mediating effect of selected demographic factors on patient adherence and beliefs. The study is empirical and tries to highlight the difference in adherence and beliefs of the patient in the state of Sikkim in India based on gender, place of dwelling, education level, and income of the patients. It was found that medication adherence and beliefs of patients significantly differ based on their demographic characteristics. The importance given to the physician instruction varies mainly based on the gender and dwelling location of the patients. Patients who fall into the category of retired servicemen/women are more adherent than others. Income also plays an essential role in adherence. Gender differences occur for exercising behavior of patients, and education level affects the beliefs of patients towards themselves and for their responsibilities.
