In this study, we aimed to determine the association between health literacy and the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), among an older population. This cross-sectional study was conducted among Japanese health management specialists ( = 593). Higher levels (communicative and critical) of health literacy and CVD risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity) were measured. The mean patient age was 71.3 years. Logistic regression analyses showed statistically significant associations between higher levels of health literacy and the prevalence of CVDs (β coefficient = -.091, < .05) and metabolic risk factors (β coefficient = -.084, < .01). There was a statistically significant association between health literacy and the count of CVDs (and its risk factors) (β coefficients of Poisson regression = -.036, < .05). The results show health literacy to be fundamentally related to low prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and their associated metabolic risk factors.
在本研究中，我们旨在确定老年人群中健康素养与心血管疾病（CVD）发生之间的关联。这项横断面研究在日本健康管理专家（n = 593）中进行。测量了较高水平（沟通和批判性）的健康素养以及CVD危险因素（糖尿病、高血压、血脂异常和肥胖）。患者的平均年龄为71.3岁。逻辑回归分析显示，较高水平的健康素养与CVD患病率（β系数 = -0.091，P < 0.05）和代谢危险因素（β系数 = -0.084，P < 0.01）之间存在统计学上的显著关联。健康素养与CVD（及其危险因素）的计数之间存在统计学上的显著关联（泊松回归的β系数 = -0.036，P < 0.05）。结果表明，健康素养与心血管疾病及其相关代谢危险因素的低患病率基本相关。
