Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question states that the relationship between adherence and age is complex and specifically mentions that the relationship found in one study (Thomas et al., 1995) was curvilinear, meaning it does not follow a simple straight line trend but rather a U-shaped or inverted U-shaped pattern.
