Abstract:
The article discusses the content and correlation of the concepts of “literacyˮ, “functional literacyˮ. The issues of the evolution of the concept of “functional literacyˮ in pedagogical theory and practice at various stages of social development, the expansion of the concept of “literacyˮ to the concept of “functional literacyˮ in connection with the growing demands of society to the educational process, the heterogeneity of the perception of the concept of “functional literacyˮ by various researchers are touched upon. Attention is focused on the role of the school in the formation of a functionally literate personality. The author comes to the reasonable conclusion that in modern pedagogy functional literacy is considered as the basis for the manifestation of adaptive abilities to the conditions of society by a person and the expansion of the range of demand in various fields of activity. The purpose of the article is to consider the problem of functional literacy in the context of pedagogical sciences.

Abstract:
This article presents findings of study on women’s experiences of Functional Adult Literacy (FAL) as a gateway to their financial progress and welfare in Lango region, Northern Uganda. The qualitative study of 45 participants aimed at examining women’s live changes resulting from using their acquired FAL knowledge and skills to participate in Income Generating Activities. The study demonstrates that FAL brings out women’s individual and collective agency through “conscientization” concept and dialogue as tools for marginalized people in the act of social and economic change agents. This argument is grounded within agency concept that portray the power of the oppressed individual as well as collective agency. Findings revealed that FAL training improves women’s livelihood. The article concludes that Government, international development partners, NGOs, and civil society should ensure strong support and implementation of FAL program because it can help women succeed in the contemporary world.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problematic nature of librarian attitudes toward people with disabilities and how a language change to the use of the term “functionally diverse” can highlight a greater sense of inclusion and equality, as well as develop a new type of literacy that focuses on understanding and awareness of disabilities, accessibility and difference. Design/methodology/approach This paper examines current trends of language use about people with disabilities and then posits a counterpoint by discussing functional diversity as a viable alternative in not just language but also literacy. Findings Examples of current problematic language by librarians are drawn from social media and the literature. The examples are deconstructed in regard to why they are problematically exclusive, and then the alternative language of functional diversity is examined as a way to be more inclusive. Developing a new literacy in terms of interaction with functionally diverse people is also discussed. Originality/value Library literature on disability largely focuses on a case study approach and on the view of how to assist people with single disabilities. This is one of the very few papers that focuses on discussing the underlying attitudes and assumptions of librarians that make outreach to people with disabilities who use libraries, difficult. This is also one of the few papers that discusses the need for a new type of literacy within librarianship.

Abstract:
The article focuses on issues related to the teaching of a new subject within the school curriculum, called functional literacy. The paper addresses the challenges and difficulties of learning functional literacy in lower grades. In the course of work, the need for knowledge of a new subject from the point of view of pedagogy is identified and analyzed. The purpose of this article is to analyze the importance of teaching the subject of “functional literacyˮ among younger students in order to increase the level of education in a rapidly changing society. Such methods as theoretical analysis of the literature on this topic, analysis method and generalization method were applied in the work. Functional literacy in modern conditions of the educational environment implies the introduction of new methods of education and education. This includes educational technologies, which make it possible to ensure that students learn the basic skills and skills, increase their motivation for learning and involvement in the educational process. All this is due to a number of serious problems in the modern educational process. In this work, such methods as theoretical analysis of the literature on this topic, the analysis method and the generalization method were applied. The result of the work was conclusions about the presence of problems in pedagogy related to functional literacy and directions to solve these difficulties.

Abstract:
We used metastudy and metasynthesis techniques to conduct a discursive review of 101 recent publications on the topic of adult functional literacy (FL). Our purpose was to understand the ideologies shaping current definitions and conceptualizations of FL, as well as how and why FL is researched and assessed as it is. Using discursive review techniques, we analyzed instances of legitimation, dissimulation, reification, and “ofcourseness” to explore the ideological underpinnings of the field. Close analysis of three passages related to theory, research, and assessment illustrates ideological patterns in what “counts” as FL. These patterns are grounded in ideological divisions between cognitive and sociocultural perspectives on FL—the effects of which we traced through our findings on what “counts” as FL, the logics of inquiry that undergird the field, and the ways in which these ideologies shape adult literacy assessment. Our discussion considers the larger implications of these ideologies: What is legitimated or reified, and what is ignored, dismissed, or subsumed, by these ways of conceptualizing FL? We offer future directions and raise important questions that arise from these conclusions.

Abstract:
The article explains the concepts of literacy and functional literacy. The concept of "literacy" is widely studied, its meaning is revealed. To explain the contemporary meaning of literacy, it is necessary to look at historical changes in the concept of literacy. However, it focuses not on the process of changing the concept of literacy, but on the modern meaning of literacy, based on the concept of literacy presented in various materials. The importance of functional literacy in the modern education system is explained. The article highlights the specifics of education and training on the formation of functional literacy. Functional literacy is a measure of a person's ability to interact with the external environment and the level of the ability to adapt and communicate with this environment as quickly as possible. Thus, functional literacy consists of a set of knowledge, skills and abilities that are considered necessary for a person to live in a particular cultural environment and ensure his social interaction. And in a broad sense, this is not just a way to get into the world of 4 skills and knowledge, it is an indicator of the cultural and social development of a nation, country or group of people. From the point of view of such a qualitative nature, functional literacy is used as a mechanism for personal development.

Abstract:
The results of research about functional literacy (i.e. ability to read, understand and create text and understand its further use), and especially those results that 15-year-olds show in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), as well as the importance of this competence for life and work in a modern society, indicate the need for analysis of all the segments that affect its development and improvement. Project How to help students to successfully create oral and written, artistic and non-artistic texts addresses this area in particular. The culture of oral and written expression, as productive language skills, is very interesting to research, and especially to improve. Inseparable from the receptive skills of listening and reading, they are their explicit product. A significant number of theorists and methodologists dealt with this area, but their activity was usually focused on what the teacher needed to do for the students to write well (focused on the process, method, or the result: students' written work). What is unquestionably lacking, but is in the spirit of the changes that we have introduced in our educational system, is dealing with the student as a creator of the text. The observations of methodologists of language and literature teaching prove that this factor in teacher-student-written work conjunction was least dealt with. They point out that the main characteristic of the current literature on the written expression is exaggerated orientation towards written works and neglecting of their authors (creators). The aim of the project was to investigate and recommend the best ways in which to build a functional literacy in the area of successful creation of oral and written text, i.e. to propose a more efficient teaching in the field of oral and written expression. This paper analyzes the opportunities for the development of these areas, providing current educational programs for Mother tongue language and literature in Montenegro, and presents the methodical approach The Creator's path designed as a means of support for all students when creation of text is in question.

Abstract:
Functional Literacy in People's Lives The paper presents the results of a qualitative study into the lives of people with inadequate functional literacy skills. The data were collected through a biographical interview with a respondent whose characteristics correspond to those of a hypothetical person likely to exhibit signs of low functional literacy. The characteristics, such as gender, age, parental education achievements and job history, of this hypothetical person have been derived from the results of research into adult functional literacy undertaken in the Czech Republic in 1998-International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). The analysis of the qualitative data focuses on three domains of the respondent's life, namely her family life, her school years, and her life style. The paper identifies the coping strategies used by the respondent in her everyday life.

Abstract:
Problem and objective. The level of functional literacy is checked by the Programme for International Student Assessment, where Russian students demonstrate their weak positions. As one of the ways to improve the results of international testing, it is proposed to study works of contemporary art and to construct, on their basis, tasks of a wide range of scientific fields aimed at forming functional literacy, involving students in creative tasks of a project type. The purpose of the article is to show ways to develop functional literacy through educational-cognitive and educational-practical tasks developed in the process of comprehending the work by French composers Pierre Henri Marie Schaeffer and Pierre Henry Symphonie pour un homme seul, which has wide pedagogical capabilities. Methods. Developing functional literacy by means of contemporary art is based on the system-activity, person-centred, and multi-artistic approaches. The analysis of theoretical sources in pedagogy and art history was used. Results. The pedagogical potential of contemporary art, in particular, works of concrete music, opens up significant prospects for students to create their own creative products that combine different types of arts. This requires the development of educational-practical skills with the involvement of a wide range of information to obtain a creative result. The educational orientation consists in the implementation of a conceptual idea in a literary-musical composition and its visualisation with the involvement of personal computers connected to the Internet, sound speakers, a USB microphone, and computer programmes. Conclusion. The knowledge, skills, and abilities obtained in the study of contemporary art are effective in forming functional literacy in general and additional education, lesson and extracurricular activities while integrating the content of art lessons and school subjects of basic school.

Abstract:
The relevance of the article is due to the attention paid by the pedagogical community to the category of "functional literacy", the ambiguity of its interpretation in scientific research, the requirement to respond to the changing demand of society for the quality of education. Moreover, the results of a survey of practicing teachers indicate some difficulty in understanding functional literacy. The purpose of the study is to analyze conceptual approaches to defining the concept of "functional literacy" and develop a generalized model of the structural elements of functional literacy. To achieve this goal, a combination of general scientific methods was used: a descriptive method, including methods of comparison, interpretation and generalization; synchronous theoretical analysis of conceptual approaches to the definition of the concept of "functional literacy" and its components; questioning; pedagogical forecasting; modeling. As a result of the study, conceptual approaches to the definition of the concept of "functional literacy" were analyzed, the definition of the concept of "functional literacy" and its components – mathematical literacy, natural science literacy, reading literacy, financial literacy – was given. In the conclusions, the authors note that the analysis of conceptual approaches to the definition of the concept of "functional literacy" and its components contributes to the improvement of the ways and mechanisms for the formation of functional literacy of students.

Abstract:
Literacy issues have probably been a special concern of many countries. In Indonesia, there have also been several surveys regarding the literacy of school students. This study aims to map the functional literacy of junior high school (JHS) students by focusing on various types of literacy and how each of them contributes to the overall functional literacy. This is quantitative survey research whose subjects were JHS students in four regencies and one municipality of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, with a total sample member of 246 students. The research instrument was an extension of the National Assessment for Adult Literacy (NAAL) with some additions of functional literacy types suggested in the FGD. Data were collected by using a test and analyzed through descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis using the structural equation model with the Lisrel program. The results reveal that the functional literacy of the JHS students is mostly in the “medium” (83.3%), “low” (15.4%), and “high” (1.2%) category. Of the 15 types of literacy, two of them (13.33%), namely prose and cultural literacy make “high” contribution to the functional literacy as a whole, and two others (document and environmental literacy) also support to a “medium” extent (13.33%), while the rest (60%) are categorized as having “low” contribution. This likely implies the importance of fostering various types of functional literacy at school for students to have the ability to develop their personal and social functions.

The article analyzes the concept of “physical culture literacy”. The genesis, structure and content of the concept of “physical literacy” in foreign literature, which is an analogue of the concept of “physical literacy” in the terminology adopted in the post-Soviet space, is considered. The ideas of the scientific community about the structure of physical culture literacy are systematized and presented in tabular form. Physical culture functional literacy is presented as a part of a person's physical culture. The author's definition of the term physical culture functional literacy is given, and a theoretical model of this concept is presented. Physical culture functional literacy is defined as a system that includes the basic level of formation of physical culture knowledge, motor and intellectual skills and abilities, the optimal level of physical fitness in intellectual and motor activity, allowing a motivated person to successfully solve motor tasks that arise before him both in the process of life and in the process of professional activity.

Abstract:
The effects of cooperative learning strategy manipulations on the enactment and recall of a medical procedure were explored. One hundred and twenty-three college students completed the experiment. During training, participants were randomly assigned to a dyad in one of four conditions: (a) no-strategy, (b) baseline strategy, (c) prompting strategy, and (d) planning strategy. During testing, participants both performed and produced written recalls of the procedure instructions. Test order was counterbalanced within dyad. Training and test performances were videotaped. The planning group produced the best recalls and recalled more conditions of the procedure. The prompting group performed best. Recall of the procedure in all groups was enhanced by prior performance. However, performance was enhanced by prior recall in only two groups. The groups differed also in the nature of the transition from training to testing. Theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract:
Health literacy assessment is a major aspect of planning health education for adolescents. We evaluated the health literacy of Japanese adolescents using both perceived and knowledge-based health literacy scales. Study questionnaires were administered to 773 junior and senior high school students aged 12 to 18 years. We tested a model describing the hierarchical relations between functional, communicative, critical, and knowledge-based health literacy using path analysis. Critical health literacy was found to be influenced by functional, communicative, and knowledge-based health literacy, while functional and knowledge-based health literacy were correlated. The model, with slight modification, was supported. The result indicates that perceived functional health literacy scores did not directly correlate with higher perceived critical health literacy; rather, they only informed critical health literacy when participants had high knowledge-based health literacy.

Abstract:
Literacy, in particular functional literacy in various fields and especially in the field of STEM, is becoming an increasing problem in modern-day society. The question arises, can the school system develop the kind of functional literacy in students, which allows them to fulfil, in real life, their personal and professional needs related to the competence of reading and creating written texts from the field of science, technology and engineering? The present research aimed to explore how students in today's schools are trained in functional literacy, especially in the fields of technology and engineering, and what kind of literacies in the field of STEM they are able to (or should be able to) master competently. The present research showed that students achieve relatively poor results in the area of functional literacy, both regarding their science literacy, and especially their technology and engineering literacy, which is a result of a lack of competence on behalf of mother-tongue teachers to develop this kind of functional literacy. Functional literacy should be developed by teachers of individual areas of STEM subjects.

Abstract:
This discussion will focus upon English literacy research which draws upon systemic functional linguistic theory. Over the last ten to fifteen years, a significant number of applied linguists and language educators have emerged in Australia who use systemic functional linguistic theory to address a wide range of research questions. Their effort has been stimulated by the scholarly leadership of Halliday (e.g., 1985a), who took up the Chair of Linguistics at Sydney University in the late 1970s, as well as that of colleagues and former students of his, including Hasan (e.g., Halliday and Hasan 1985) and Martin (e.g., 1985a). The group of scholars who have emerged have contributed to the development of a rich tradition of research and teaching in English literacy in both first and second language contexts. Such a tradition offers the prospect of an educational linguistics of value both to researchers and teachers. More than one tradition of linguistic research might well contribute to the development of an educational linguistics. However, it is the particular claims and contributions of systemic functional linguistic theory that are argued for here.

Objective: To assess the relationship between the functional health literacy of Unified Heath System users and the understanding of food servings in the pocket version of the Brazilian Food Guide.Methods: Functional health literacy was assessed by the Brief Test of functional health literacy.Two dialogue rounds were conducted with patients with adequate functional health literacy (Group 1) and inadequate functional health literacy (Group 2). The dialogues were recorded and analyzed according to the discourse of the collective subject.Results: Most (58.0%) users had inadequate functional health literacy. Five core areas were identified: understands serving sizes; does not understand serving sizes; serving sizes are confusing; unfamiliar/uncommon foods; small letters. Group 2 had more trouble understanding.Conclusion: Difficulty understanding hinders health promotion. Individuals need to have access to educational materials that are easier to understand and developed taking their functional health literacy into account.

Abstract:
ObjectivesThe aim was to psychometrically test and evaluate the Swedish functional health literacy scale and the Swedish communicative and critical health literacy scale in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.DesignA prospective cross-sectional psychometric study.SettingPatients from three bariatric centres in Sweden were consecutively included in this study.ParticipantsA total of 704 patients undergoing bariatric surgery filled in the questionnaires preoperatively. Inclusion criteria were scheduled for primary bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and greater than 17 years, proficiency in Swedish.Primary and secondary measuresPsychometric outcomes of the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale.ResultsThere was a higher proportion of females (74.4%, n=523) to males (25.6%, n=180). The mean age was 42 years (SD 11.5). Limited functional health literacy and limited communicative and critical health literacy (including both inadequate and problematic health literacy) was reported in 55% (n=390) and 40% (n=285), respectively. Cronbach alpha for the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale was α=0.86 and for the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale, α=0.87. Construct validity showed weak to negative correlations between the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and income, education and SF-36/RAND36 summary scores. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a one-factor solution for the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and a two-factor solution for the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale.ConclusionsThe Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale are valid and reliable to use for patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a Swedish context. Measuring dimensions of health literacy can be used as a guide for the development of health literacy friendly patient information in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

ObjectivesWe investigated the role that childhood and old age cognitive ability play in the association between functional health literacy and mortality.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingThis study used data from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936) study, which recruited participants living in the Lothian region of Scotland when aged 70 years, most of whom had completed an intelligence test at age 11 years.Participants795 members of the LBC1936 with scores on tests of functional health literacy and cognitive ability in childhood and older adulthood.Primary and secondary outcome measuresParticipants were followed up for 8 years to determine mortality. Time to death in days was used as the primary outcome measure.ResultsUsing Cox regression, higher functional health literacy was associated with lower risk of mortality adjusting for age and sex, using the Shortened Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92 to 0.98), the Newest Vital Sign (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.97) and a functional health literacy composite measure (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.92), but not the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.01). Adjusting for childhood intelligence did not change these associations. When additionally adjusting for fluid-type cognitive ability in older age, associations between functional health literacy and mortality were attenuated and non-significant.ConclusionsCurrent fluid ability, but not childhood intelligence, attenuated the association between functional health literacy and mortality. Functional health literacy measures may, in part, assess fluid-type cognitive abilities, and this may account for the association between functional health literacy and mortality.

Abstract:
Science, technology and engineering functional literacy should be developed purposely in the school system – like any other competence, it does not develop spontaneously. For this purpose, a didactic model, the Metacognitive Model for Developing Science, Technology and Engineering Literacy (McM_T&E), was developed. Apart from acquiring knowledge and skills from the field of technology and engineering, the McM_T&E is equally focused on developing functional literacy in the field of technology and engineering, as well as in the field of science, through the development of students’ metacognitive knowledge about reading strategies for reading STE explicatory texts and for reading manufacturing instructions. The McM_T&E was implemented in a Technology and Technique’ (T&T) class, grade six, in Slovenia. Results show that focusing on science, technology and engineering literacy in Technology and Engineering classes by using the McM_T&E model increases the students’ science, technology, and engineering functional literacy, which is a fundamental competence in the 21st century. Keywords: functional literacy, metacognitive didactic model, science functional literacy, technology, engineering functional literacy.

Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, distorted information about the COVID-19 vaccination is widely disseminated through social media. The present study examined the association between perceived information distortion about COVID-19 vaccination on social media, individuals’ functional and critical literacy, and addictive social media use (SMU), as well as the moderating roles of functional and critical literacy in the association between perceived information distortion and addictive SMU among social media users in Hong Kong. A web-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted among 411 Chinese citizens from June to August 2021. Findings showed that after adjusting for significant background variables, including age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, and income, functional literacy was negatively associated with addictive SMU. In addition, significant moderation effects of functional literacy and critical literacy were also observed, such that a positive association between perceived information distortion on social media and addictive SMU was significant among participants with lower functional literacy or higher critical literacy. Findings highlight the importance of improving functional literacy in addictive SMU prevention for social media users. Special attention should also be paid to the potential influence of critical literacy on addictive SMUs.

Abstract:
According to the statistical data, in year 2001 in Croatia 2,88% of inhabitants have not get any basic education and 16,76% have not finished the basic education (primary school). Above this we have to add that 47,06% of inhabitants have finished only secondary education. This is to conclude that inhabitants have very low level of the functional literacy. In this research functional literacy is tested according to the UNESCO standards. International Adult Literacy Survey was adopted for this purpose. Adults in Primary adult education from 5th till 8th grade were tested. According to the IALS, adults in primary education were tested in prose, documentary and numeracy literacy graded in levels from 1 (por literacy) to 5 (expert literacy). The tasks were taken from everyday life different charts, symbols, simple calculation, and text from ads, newspaper or instructions for different products. The results show that the functional literacy is at the level 1 or 2 that indicates very poor level of Literacy. These results are comparable with the results from other researches which show us that 70% of total population of the each state is functionally illiterate (Slovenia has conducted research in 1998 and the results for entire population were from 65-77% illiterate on level 1 or 2). However, we have to take into consideration that this research is preliminary one because of the fact that this test is used for the first time and that tested population is a part of the entire society with one similarity - all of them have not finished primary education.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of the current study is to provide comprehensive health care to older adults by assessing physical and mental health in a geriatric primary care setting, including evaluation of both subjective and functional health literacy. Health literacy is vital to understanding medical information and making subsequent decisions based on this information. Knowledge of patient health literacy may be particularly important for care providers, as it can provide guidance on how to best communicate with the patient (Nouri & Rudd, 2015). It may be particularly important to monitor health literacy within older adults, as several studies (e.g., Kobayashi et al., 2015) have shown that health literacy decreases with mild cognitive impairment. Approximately 250 patients (mean age = 76; 74% female; 16% African American) attending an interdisciplinary geriatrics clinic in West Alabama have been recruited to take part in a variety of behavioral health screenings. The current study assessed subjective health literacy using questions developed by Chew, Bradley, and Boyko (2004) and functional health literacy using the Newest Vital Sign (Weiss et al., 2005). While there was a significant correlation between subjective and functional health literacy (r = .43, p < .001), 81% of patients reported adequate subjective health literacy, while only 41% demonstrated adequate health literacy on a functional screening measure. Based on these findings, self-reported health literacy may not necessarily be reflective of performance on more functional measures. Given the potential consequences of overestimating health literacy, this represents a serious barrier to patient care.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of such a socio-legal phenomenon as functional legal literacy, as well as to identify and characterize its levels. The main methods on which the research has been based are the dialectical method of cognition, which allows studying socio-legal phenomena in their development and interaction, as well as a systematic approach that makes it possible to consider legal functional literacy as a set of interrelated elements. The authors conclude that legal functional literacy is a universal socio-legal phenomenon peculiar to any society. However, it always has specific content, depending on historical and geopolitical conditions, belonging to a certain legal family and other circumstances. The article substantiates the position that legal functional literacy is a structural component of functional literacy, which is a complex personal and group education, which is based on a system of theoretical knowledge and practical skills focused on the effective implementation of legal relations in society.

Abstract:
Background Poor functional health literacy has been found to be independently associated with poor self-assessed health, poor understanding of one’s health condition and its management, and higher use of health services. Given the importance of functional health literacy, it is necessary to assess the overall status of functional health literacy in the general public. However, the literature review shows that no studies of functional health literacy have been conducted among the Chinese population in China. Objective This study aimed to classify Chinese populations into different functional health literacy clusters and ascertain significant factors closely associated with low functional health literacy to provide some implications for health education, medical research, and public health policy making. Methods We hypothesized that the participants’ functional health literacy levels were associated with various demographic characteristics. Therefore, we designed a four-section questionnaire including the following information: (1) age, gender, and education; (2) self-assessed disease knowledge; (3) 3 validated health literacy assessment tools (ie, the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale, the eHealth Literacy Scale, and the 6-item General Health Numeracy Test); and (4) health beliefs and self-confidence measured by the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scales Form B. Using randomized sampling, we recruited survey participants from Qilu Hospital affiliated to Shandong University, China. The questionnaire was administered via wenjuanxing. A returned questionnaire was valid only when all question items included were answered, according to our predefined validation criterion. All valid data were coded according to the predefined coding schemes of Likert scales with different point (score) ranges. Finally, we used latent class analysis to classify Chinese populations into clusters of different functional health literacy and identify significant factors closely associated with low functional health literacy. Results All data in the 800 returned questionnaires proved valid according to the predefined validation criterion. Applying latent class analysis, we classified Chinese populations into low (n=292, 36.5%), moderate-to-adequate (n=286, 35.7%), and low-to-moderate (n=222, 27.8%) functional health literacy groups and identified five factors associated with low communicative health literacy: (1) male gender (aged 40-49 years), (2) lower educational attainment (below diploma), (3) age between 38 and 68 years, (4) lower self-efficacy, and (5) belief that staying healthy was a matter of luck. Conclusions We classified Chinese populations into 3 functional health literacy groups and identified 5 factors associated with low functional health literacy. These associated factors can provide some implications for health education, medical research, and health policy making.
