Abstract
Health literacy is increasingly recognized as a crucial determinant of health outcomes, particularly among elderly populations. With aging comes an increased vulnerability to preventable diseases, making health literacy an essential tool in preventing adverse health outcomes. This research explores the relationship between health literacy and the prevention of preventable diseases among elderly individuals. By examining how health literacy influences behaviors, decision-making, and access to healthcare resources, the study seeks to identify strategies for improving health outcomes among older adults. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this paper aims to contribute to the understanding of how enhancing health literacy can mitigate the burden of preventable diseases in the elderly and promote healthier aging.
