Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between health literacy and the likelihood of death in ten years among community-dwelling older people; and identify whether health literacy exerts an influence on the likelihood of death in this population.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 200 community-dwelling older people. Data were collected on sociodemographic characteristics, health-related characteristics, health literacy and the likelihood of death in ten years.

Results: A weak and inversely proportional correlation was found between health literacy and the likelihood of death. Health literacy was associated with the likelihood of death regardless of age, sex, number of medications or recent hospitalization. Inadequate health literacy was identified in 72.5% of the participants and the average likelihood of death in 10 years was 35.4%.

Conclusions: Health literacy was associated with the likelihood of death. Health literacy, sociodemographic and health-related characteristics exert an influence on the likelihood of death.

社区居住老年人的健康素养与死亡可能性

目的：探讨社区居住老年人健康素养与10年内死亡可能性的相关性；并确定健康素养是否对这一人群的死亡可能性产生影响。方法：对200名居住在社区的老年人进行横断面研究。收集了有关社会人口特征、健康相关特征、健康素养和10年内死亡可能性的数据。结果：健康素养与死亡可能性呈弱反比相关。无论年龄、性别、药物数量或近期住院情况如何，健康素养都与死亡可能性有关。72.5%的参与者发现健康素养不足，10年内的平均死亡可能性为35.4%。结论：健康素养与死亡可能性相关。健康知识、社会人口和健康相关特征对死亡的可能性有影响。
