目的：探讨 18-29 岁年轻人的健康素养、自我效能、食品标签使用和饮食质量之间的关系。方法：评估健康素养、自我效能、食品标签的使用和饮食质量。根据最新生命体征评分，参与者被分为低、中、高健康素养组。结果：自我效能和健康素养是食品标签使用的预测因素，从而积极预测饮食质量。健康素养低的群体对食品标签的使用明显低于健康素养高的群体。然而，中、高健康素养组之间没有显着差异。结论：应制定提高健康素养、自我效能和食品标签使用的策略，以改善饮食质量和健康结果。
Objectives: To examine relationships among health literacy, self-efficacy, food label use, and dietary quality in young adults aged 18-29. Methods: Health literacy, self-efficacy, food label use, and dietary quality were assessed. Participants were categorized into low, medium and high health literacy groups based on Newest Vital Sign score. Results: Self-efficacy and health literacy were predictors of food label use, which positively predicted dietary quality. The low health literacy group had significantly lower use of food labels than the high health literacy group. However, there was no significant difference between medium and high health literacy groups. Conclusion: Strategies to enhance health literacy, self-efficacy and food label use should be developed to improve dietary quality and health outcomes.
