2003年，国家成人识字评估(NAAL)发现，大约9000万美国人具备基本或低于基本的识字技能，1.1亿人拥有基本或较差的量化(算术)技能。1识字和算术能力低与对健康信息的理解不佳、健康行为不佳和临床结果不佳独立相关。2在营养和肥胖的背景下，低健康素养/计算能力与较差的母乳喂养知识、难以理解食品标签和分量大小以及成年人较高的身体质量指数(BMI)有关。3-5 2003年，卫生局局长理查德·卡莫纳承认，健康素养是美国的一个主要问题，并认识到，健康素养低可能是“我国超重和肥胖流行的最大因素之一”。
In 2003, the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) found that approximately 90 million Americans have basic or below basic literacy skills and that 110 million have basic or poor quantitative (numeracy) skills. 1 Low literacy and numeracy skills are independently associated with poor understanding of health information, poor health behaviors, and poor clinical outcomes. 2 In the context of nutrition and obesity, low health literacy/numeracy is associated with worse knowledge about breastfeeding, difficulty understanding food labels and portion sizes and higher body mass index (BMI) in adults. 3–5 In 2003, Surgeon General Richard Carmona acknowledged that health literacy is a major problem in the United States, and recognized that low health literacy is likely “one of the largest contributors to our nation’s epidemic of overweight and obesity.” 6
