ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the influence of subjective oral health level and health behavior of adults on health literacy. Data from the 2021 Community Health Survey were used. The study subjects were 106,930 adults aged 19∼64, and chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were performed. The results of the study showed that gender, age, education level, residential area, subjective oral health level, health examination, and nutrition labelling check significant effect language and text health literacy. Income level, chronic disease morbidity(diabetes mealtimes), and smoking were found to have a significant effect only on text health literacy. Groups with good subjective oral health levels and groups that practice health promotion behaviors were found to have high health literacy. In order to improve the health literacy of adults, it is necessary to improve the health provision and delivery system that considers subjective oral health level and health behavior.
