目的：本综述的目的是评估已发表的与健康素养和老年人相关的文献。
方法：本次综述是根据系统综述和荟萃分析的首选报告项目进行的。
结果：有8篇文章符合纳入标准。所有研究均在美国的城市环境中进行。研究样本量从33名到3000名参与者不等。两项研究评估了与健康相关的结果，并报告了低健康素养与较差健康结果之间的显著关联。另外两项研究调查了健康素养对药物管理的影响，报告了不同的结果。
讨论：本综述的结果强调了努力改进针对低健康素养老年人的医疗保健策略的重要性，并强调了为老年人提供一种标准化且经过验证的临床健康素养筛查工具的必要性。
Objective: The objective of this review was to assess published literature relating to health literacy and older adults. Method: The current review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses. Results: Eight articles met inclusion criteria. All studies were conducted in urban settings in the United States. Study sample size ranged from 33 to 3,000 participants. Two studies evaluated health-related outcomes and reported significant associations between low health literacy and poorer health outcomes. Two other studies investigated the impact of health literacy on medication management, reporting mixed findings. Discussion: The findings of this review highlight the importance of working to improve health care strategies for older adults with low health literacy and highlight the need for a standardized and validated clinical health literacy screening tool for older adults.
