The Effect of Health Literacy and Nutrition Literacy on Diet Quality in Adolescents

Abstract

While health literacy and nutritional literacy have become increasingly popular recently, the lack of sufficient studies on the subject shows that there is a need for relevant studies. This study was conducted to examine the effects of adolescents' health literacy and nutritional literacy levels on diet quality. The study was conducted with a total of 228 adolescents, 70 boys and 158 girls, between the ages of 15-19, studying in a private high school in the fall semester of 2020-2021. A questionnaire, health literacy scale (HLS-32), nutritional literacy scale (NLSA) and Mediterranean diet quality index (KIDMED) were applied to the participants. The mean HLS-32 score of the participants was 15.24±10.25 points (unsatisfactory), the mean NLSA score was 60.88±18.53 points (intermediate level), the mean KIDMED score was 6.6±2.17 points (moderate diet quality, improvement in diet needed). There were weakly positive and significant (p=<0.001) correlations between HLS-32 and NLSA scores, negative correlations with diet quality (p>0.05), and positive correlations between NLSA and diet quality (p=0.073). It was determined that with 1 unit increase in nutritional literacy score, diet quality score increased by 0.018 units, and with 1 unit increase in HLS-32 score, diet quality decreased by 0.012 points. It was determined that 38.6% of the students obtained their nutrition and health information from television, radio and internet, 27.2% obtained from family and friends, only 7.5% obtained from dietitians, 2.6% obtained from doctors and health frofessionals. In the study, the health literacy, nutritional literacy and diet quality levels and effects of the adolescents were lower than expected. Since it is thought that the reason for this may be that the students cannot reach the right information sources or have difficulties in implementing the information, it is recommended that the health and diet information be delivered to the students with the right resources and that related trainings should be given to the students.
