“…This systematic review identified 20 studies investigating the associations between health literacy with blood pressure control and salt intake. Health literate patients have better hypertension control, [25][26][27][28][29]31,32,35,39,40,46] and knowledge of hypertension [30,36] and sodium restriction [41,47]. However, there were limited and conflicting findings when it came to health literacy and salt intake, and making comparisons between studies difficult due to the different timing and assessment tools.…”

“…Most studies categorized health literacy into two or more groups; limited and adequate; limited, marginal, adequate; problematic, inadequate, sufficient, excellent. Four studies presented health literacy status as mean and standard deviation [25,30,31,41], while one study reported health literacy using quartile [29]. Most of the studies determined the associations between health literacy and outcomes using a categorical approach by defining hypertension and health literacy levels, and some use health literacy index [3] quartiles and mean scores against systolic and diastolic blood pressure [37,40], hypertension, or salt intake levels.…”

“…Out of 20 studies, only five measured all four domains of health literacy according to Sørensen et al (2012); one's ability to access, understand, appraise and apply health information [3,24,25,28,32]. The majority of health literacy tools used in the review did not measure all four domains.…”

Health literacy has been recognized as a significant social determinant of health, defined as the ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health-related information across healthcare, disease prevention, and health promotion. This systematic review aims to understand the relationship between health literacy, blood pressure, and dietary salt intake. A web-based search of PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, ProQuest, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Prospero was performed using specified search/MESH terms and keywords. Two reviewers independently performed the data extraction and analysis, cross-checked, reviewed, and resolved any discrepancies by the third reviewer. Twenty out of twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria and were rated as good quality papers and used in the final analysis. Higher health literacy had shown to have better blood pressure or hypertension knowledge. However, the relationship between health literacy with dietary salt intake has shown mixed and inconsistent findings. Studies looking into the main four domains of health literacy are still limited. More research exploring the links between health literacy, blood pressure, and dietary salt intake in the community is warranted. Using appropriate and consistent health literacy tools to evaluate the effectiveness of salt reduction as health promotion programs is required.

“…5 Health literacy can enable a person to adopt a healthier lifestyle. 6 In oral health, good oral practices such as toothbrushing twice daily using fluoridated toothpaste, regular flossing, using mouthwash and visiting the dentist once a year are highly recommended practices in obtaining optimum oral health status. Ying indicated that having adequate OHL built a good oral health character as they perform better oral hygiene practice every day.…”

Introduction: Oral health literacy is an essential element of an individual to make better oral health decision. Low oral health literacy (OHL) is associated with poor oral health decision and outcome. This study aimed to determine factors associated with oral health literacy among undergraduate students in one of the public universities of Malaysia. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study which was undertaken among the undergraduate students of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Sample selection was done randomly. A validated oral health literacy index of Malay version was used throughout the study. Ethical approval was obtained from the University Research Ethics Committee and respondents had given their consent prior to the data collection. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software version 24.0 and the significant level was set at p< 0.05. Results: The mean oral health literacy of the university undergraduate students was 77.7 (95% CI= 76.75, 78.71). Multiple linear regression indicated that female has higher OHL (β= 4.19; 95% CI= 1.99, 6.39; p< 0.001), social science stream has lower OHL (β= -9.14; 95% CI= - 11.20, -7.07; p< 0.001) and higher education level of father had higher OHL (β= 1.97; 95% CI= 0.10, 3.83; p= 0.039) than their counterparts. Conclusion: Oral health literacy is higher among the science streams students compared to the social sciences streams. This suggests that science education might play a significant role in health literacy and improving health outcomes.

“…HL is a combination of various skills and competencies that people need to find, understand, evaluate, use health information and concepts to make choices, reduce health risks, and improve quality of life [8]. Hypertensive patients with low HL are likely to rarely visit health services resulting in a condition in which they are more likely to be admitted to the hospital compared to those who have adequate health literacy [9].…”

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive patients with low health literacy rarely visit health services, therefore, they have more chances of being hospitalized in comparison with those having a more adequate health literacy. AIM: This article aims to identify intervention based on integration of health literacy and its outcome in hypertensive patients. METHODS: Articles were searched using four bibliographic databases, namely, ProQuest, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. PRISMA 2015 is used as a guideline for determining which articles are selected, one of the criteria being published on 2011–2021. RESULTS: A total of 25,264 articles were obtained from the four databases. Seven articles were selected after the extraction and incorporation of the inclusion criteria. The health outcomes of hypertension sufferers after receiving intervention based on integration of health literacy were divided into three groups; medical health outcomes, health literacy skills, and hypertension self-management behavioral. CONCLUSION: An intervention integrated with health literacy and considering the hypertensive patient health literacy in its own will increase the health outcomes of hypertensive patient.
