Abstract
Introduction: Health literacy is the ability to access, understand, and apply health-related information for informed decision-making.
Methods: Our study, based on data from a Hungarian panel survey, examines health literacy levels with a focus on the impact of age, educational attainment, income, and digital access.
Results: Results show that individuals with lower education, poorer financial status, and limited digital access face greater difficulties in interpreting health information.
Summary: Social inequalities in health literacy underline the need for clear communication and targeted educational interventions to promote health equity and improve individuals' ability to make informed health-related decisions.
