Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the health literacy and health behaviors of Guinean university students residing in Brazil.

Method: A cross-sectional, analytical study conducted with 51 Guinean university students residing in Brazil. A health behavior questionnaire and the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults - Short version were applied. Spearman correlation coefficient, U of Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis were calculated.

Results: Health literacy was adequate (median=79; IQR=24). Reading comprehension (median=70; IQR=16) of health information was better than numerical comprehension (median=14; IQR=14). Better health literacy performance was found in those with daily screen time of 3 to 5 hours (p=0.004) and who consumed fatty meat (p=0.002).

Conclusion: Adequate health literacy of Guinean university students was associated with mostly healthy behaviors, except for screen time and consumption of fatty meat.

居住在巴西的几内亚大学生的健康素养和健康行为。

目的：评价居住在巴西的几内亚大学生的健康素养和健康行为。采用健康行为问卷和《成年人功能性健康素养测试-简版》。计算了Spearman相关系数，Mann-Whitney和Kruskal-Wallis的U。结果：健康素养足够（中位数=79；IQR=24）。健康信息的阅读理解（中位数=70；IQR=16）优于数字理解（中位数=14；IQR=14）。每天筛查时间为3-5小时（p=0.004）和食用高脂肪肉（p=0.002）的人健康素养表现较好。
