functional health literacy
interactive health literacy and critical health literacy were 41.8%
44.8%
38.4% and 60.1%

vs
27.9%
Chi
-square=49.867
P
<
0.001). The health literacy rates of the individuals without depressive symptoms in the 3 dimensions were also significantly higher than those of the individuals with depressive symptoms (

age
grade
