“…As people age, cognitive function, memory and motor skills present a decline, as well as reduced visual acuity; thus, these factors impair the ability of individuals to access, interpret, and act on health information (24) , making it difficult to understand and apply FHL levels in practice. Furthermore, older adults generally use health services more often and are more predisposed to more complex and more frequent intervention procedures (24)(25) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of educational intervention in the adherence to self-care activities and functional health literacy and numeracy in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted in two units of the Brazilian Family Health Strategy, involving people with diabetes. Educational interventions occurred in three meetings, weekly, lasting 60 minutes on average. Data were collected using the Questionário de Autocuidado com o Diabetes, before and after the interventions. Results: 55 people participated in the study. After the interventions, the greatest difference for a better adherence to self-care was the item “inspecting the inside of the shoes before putting them on”, with 3.29 days in the week delta at analytical level. The worst was “taking insulin shots as recommended”, with 0.00 days a week delta at basic level. Conclusion: Educational interventions had a positive effect on adherence to self-care and functional literacy in health.

“…In relation to the Brazilian overview of functional health literacy, studies on this subject have only recently been published by national researchers more frequently (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) . In these articles, adequate functional health literacy may allow a prospective learning facilitator to play a role in the caring process of cardiac pacemaker patients (15) . However, in people living with HIV, functional health literacy can influence educational technologies, and adherence to antiretroviral treatment (16) .…”

Objective: to assess the relationship between inadequate functional health literacy and inadequate blood pressure control in older people with hypertension in Primary Health Care. Method: a cross-sectional study with sample calculated at 392. SAHLPA-18 tool was used for functional health literacy; blood pressure was measured; sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. Hierarchical logistic regression was used. Results: (high) inadequate blood pressure and (low) functional inadequate health literacy were present in 41.6% and 54.6% of the people, respectively. Factors associated with inadequate blood pressure were: inadequate functional health literacy, black-brown skin color, overweight-obesity, hypertension diagnosis time, non-adherence to exercise/diet, drug treatment. Schooling had no association with inadequate blood pressure Conclusion: hypertensive elderly people with inadequate health literacy were more likely to have inadequate blood pressure. Thus, health professionals need to value functional health literacy as a possible component to control blood pressure.

“…About age, the results obtained by a study of literature review (30) observed that the FHL was associated with sociodemographic variables such as gender, age, and schooling levels. However, in another research (31) , performed in Goiás, Brazil, despite not identifying the association between FHL and age, higher health fragility was observed in the elderly. Furthermore, in a study (32) , it was suggested that cognitive alterations associated with senility could interfere in the findings related to FHL.…”
