Nutrition literacy levels were found to be statistically significant between genders, with women exhibiting greater levels of nutrition literacy than men (p&lt;0.05). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between education levels and nutritional literacy (p&lt;0.05). Specifically, individuals who graduated from high school and university demonstrated higher levels of nutritional literacy compared to those who graduated from primary and secondary school. It has been determined that gender and education among socio-demographic characteristics have a significant effect on nutritional literacy. O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar os efeitos das caracteristicas sociodemograficas e do estado de saude de adultos sobre o letramento nutricional. Participaram deste estudo 676 individuos, dos quais 50,6% (n=342) eram mulheres e 49,4% (n=334) eram homens. A media do escore total de alfabetizacao nutricional dos individuos foi de 33,06+3,49. Verificou-se que 9,3% dos individuos tinham alfabetizacao nutricional inadequada, 87,4% tinham alfabetizacao nutricional limitrofe e 3,3% tinham alfabetizacao nutricional adequada. Os niveis de alfabetizacao nutricional foram estatisticamente significativos entre os generos, sendo que os niveis de alfabetizacao nutricional das mulheres foram maiores do que os dos homens (p&lt;0,05). Encontrou-se relacao significativa entre escolaridade e alfabetizacao nutricional (p&lt;0,05). O nivel de alfabetizacao nutricional dos individuos com Ensino Medio e Superior se mostrou mais adequado em relacao aos individuos com Ensino Fundamental e Medio.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1415-5273</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1590/1678-9865202437e230074</identifier><language>por</language><publisher>Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Campinas</publisher><ispartof>Revista de nutrição, 2024-01, Vol.47</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2024 Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Campinas</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Oral, Emel Aydan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kiziltan, Gul</creatorcontrib><title>Factors affecting nutrition literacy: a pilot study among Turkish adults/ Fatores que afetam a alfabetizacao em nutricao: um estudo piloto entre adultos turcos</title><title>Revista de nutrição</title><description>The aim of this study was examined the effects of sociodemographic characteristics and health status of adults on nutritional literacy.
