Description
Zih-Yong Liao, Pei-Chun Liao, and Fang-Lin Kuo study health literacy and health care use in older Taiwanese adults in a 2023 paper. Health literacy shapes health behavior, but its role in older adults' access to care was little documented. The study used the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Ageing.
The sample covered 2,423 community-dwelling older adults between 2011 and 2015. Using mixed-effects and cumulative logit models, the team tested which personal traits tracked with care use. A significant link involved how hard people found it to manage health tasks, evidence that literacy support belongs in elder care planning.
