Article Synopsis
- Health literacy is vital for health and well-being, but studies in Nepal on this topic are limited; this research assessed health literacy levels in adults from Rasuwa.
- A cross-sectional study involving 253 adults revealed that only 23.3% had adequate health literacy, with younger participants and those reporting satisfactory health and financial conditions being more likely to demonstrate higher literacy levels.
- Factors like age, self-assessed health status, financial stability, self-esteem, and income influenced health literacy; addressing these socio-economic issues is crucial for improving health literacy, especially among vulnerable groups.
