儿童的健康素养是健康的重要支柱。这项研究旨在调查希腊10至12岁学龄儿童的健康素养和体重状况之间的关系。2014-2016学年进行了一项以人口为基础的横断面观察性研究，招募了1728名10至12岁的学生(795名男孩)。通过项目反应理论混合模型，结合儿童对健康的各种信念和认知，创建了健康素养指数(范围0-100)。健康素养平均得分为70.4分(+/-18.7)。大多数儿童(63.8%)的健康素养水平为“高”(即67/100)，30.5%的儿童健康素养水平为“中等”(即34-66/100)，而一小部分儿童(5.7%)的健康素养水平为“低”(即，
Children's health literacy is a crucial pillar of health. This study is aimed to examine the association between health literacy and weight status among Greek schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 years old. A population-based, cross-sectional observational study enrolling 1,728 students (795 boys), aged 10 to 12 years old, was conducted during school years 2014-2016. A health literacy index (range 0-100) was created through an item response theory hybrid model, by combining a variety of beliefs and perceptions of children about health. The mean health literacy score was 70.4 (+/- 18.7). The majority of children (63.8%) had a "high" level (i.e., >67/100) of health literacy, 30.5% had a "medium" level (i.e., 34-66/100) of health literacy, while a small proportion of children (5.7%) had a "low" level (i.e.,
