大约一半的美国成年人缺乏获取、处理和理解做出适当健康决策所需的基本健康信息和服务所需的健康素养和计算技能。 1 健康素养是社会和个人因素的共同作用，健康素养技能受到教育、文化和语言的调节。 1 健康素养较低的患者难以处理影响心血管疾病管理活动的事项，例如查找或获得医疗保健、理解教育材料、阅读预约提醒、阅读药物和营养标签以及了解不健康行为和环境暴露的后果。他们在与医疗保健提供者沟通时也可能遇到困难。健康素养较低的人出现不良健康结果的可能性是其他人的 1.5 至 3 倍。 2 健康素养不足且患有心血管疾病等慢性疾病的个人面临的护理和结果不佳的风险增加，包括缺乏疾病知识、自我保健能力差、住院人数增加、死亡率增加以及医疗保健费用较高。 3Y6
Approximately one-half of American adults lack the health literacy and numeracy skills necessary to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. 1 Health literacy is a shared function of social and individual factors, and health literacy skills are mediated by education, culture, and language. 1 Patients with low health literacy have difficulty processing items that affect cardiovascular disease management activities such as locating or accessing health care, understanding educational materials, reading appointment reminders, reading medication and nutrition labels, and understanding the consequences of unhealthy behaviors and environmental exposures. They may also experience difficulties in communication with their health care provider.Those with low health literacy are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to experience adverse health outcomes. 2 Individuals with inadequate health literacy and chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease are at increased risk for poor care and outcomes including lack of knowledge about disease, poor self-care, increased hospital admissions, increased mortality, and higher health care costs. 3Y6
