Abstract:
Not everyone seems to have adequate health literacy to take care of their own health. Especially older people, people with migration background, and adolescents with lower educational attainment face challenges when dealing with the healthcare system. Our cross-sectional study focuses on these vulnerable groups. We found that vulnerable populations showed high prevalence of limited health literacy, and there were considerable differences between these groups. Older people were more likely to have limited health literacy compared to younger people. Older people with migration background had the lowest health literacy.
