To identify relationships between the health literacy and self-reported preventive health practices of US adults.
Measured health literacy and preventive health practices for a nationally representative sample of adults (N = 18,100) and conducted probit regression analyses after controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity, poverty level, insurance status, self-reported health status, and oral reading fluency.
Low literacy was associated with a decreased likelihood of using most preventive health measures under study for adults aged 65 and older, but not for adults of 2 younger age groups.
The relationship between health literacy and preventive health practices varied substantially by adult age group.
确定美国成年人的健康素养与自我报告的预防性健康行为之间的关系。
对具有全国代表性的成年人样本（N = 18100）测量健康素养和预防性健康行为，并在控制年龄、性别、种族/族裔、贫困水平、保险状况、自我报告的健康状况和口头阅读流畅性后进行概率回归分析。
低素养与65岁及以上成年人使用大多数所研究的预防性健康措施的可能性降低有关，但与两个较年轻年龄组的成年人无关。
健康素养与预防性健康行为之间的关系因成年人年龄组的不同而有很大差异。
