Is there any possible relationship between Adult Literacy and Health Status?
18Clipart form: Microsoft Clipart, Power Point, 2007.
Adult Literacy and its possible relation with some health aspects: Puerto Rico 2010 ©Dr. Orville M. Disdier
According to some authors and researchers…
• Literacy goes further than the ability to read, write and make mathematical operations; it includes other dimensions such as the capacity to maintain an adequate health status (Bennett and colleagues , 2002).
• Literate people have a highest probability of experimenting a better health status (Berkman and
colleagues, 2004).– Lower prevalence of diabetes and hypertension
19
Adult Literacy and its possible relation with some health aspects: Puerto Rico 2010 ©Dr. Orville M. Disdier
Other researchers have also found…
• Limited literacy contributes to reported poor health status (Hoffman‐Goetz, Meissner & Thompson, 2009)
• Illiterate people are more likely to suffer mental health conditions in comparison to literate people (TenHave, Van Horn & Kumanyika, 1997).
• Literacy is critically important in the successful treatment of several conditions, such as asthma. – The reading level was an important predictor of knowledge of asthma condition and its treatment.(Williams et al, 1998).

METHODOLOGY
22
Adult Literacy and its possible relation with some health aspects: Puerto Rico 2010 ©Dr. Orville M. Disdier
Methodology
• Literacy questions were realized as a supplement for the PR‐BRFSS.
• 6,574 people who were 18 years old or more and lived in Puerto Rico during 2010.
• Probabilities obtained through Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR)– Logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted POR.

Adult Literacy and its possible relation with some health aspects: Puerto Rico 2010 ©Dr. Orville M. Disdier
Conclusions• Based on the presented results it is possible to suggest that literate adults that reside in Puerto Rico have:1. Better general health2. Lower diabetes prevalence3. Lower overweight/obesity prevalence?4. Lower asthma prevalence5. Lower heart attack prevalence6. Lower cigarette smoking prevalence7. And also perform more physical activity
…in comparison with the illiterate adults.

ADDITIONAL INTERVENTIONS?

Adult Literacy and its possible relation with some health aspects: Puerto Rico 2010 ©Dr. Orville M. Disdier
44
“Studies of interventions to improve the health of persons with low literacy have increased in number over the past 10 years but remain relatively uncommon”.
“Fewer studies have examined interventions designed to mitigate the effects of low literacy on intermediate markers, measures of disease incidence or prevalence, or use of health services”.
“No research to date has examined how interventions affect the general health status of persons with low literacy or whether interventions can affect health care costs or health disparities based on race, ethnicity, culture, or age”.
