Population Based Survey

Aim: Individuals with multimorbidity often have complex healthcare needs challenging their health literacy skills. This study aimed to investigate the association between the number of physical conditions and health literacy and to examine the difference in health literacy levels between individuals with multimorbidity based on physical conditions and individuals with additional mental disorders. Methods: Respondents aged 25 years or older from a Danish population-based survey were included ( N = 28,627). Multimorbidity was assessed based on 18 self-reported chronic conditions; health literacy was measured using two scales from the Health Literacy Questionnaire focusing on understanding health information and engaging with healthcare providers. Associations were examined using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: We found a positive association between number of physical conditions and the odds of having difficulties in understanding health information and engaging with healthcare providers. For example, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) of having difficulties in understanding health information was 1.45 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09–1.94) for individuals with two physical conditions compared with individuals without multimorbidity. The associations formed a positive exposure–response pattern. Furthermore, respondents with both mental and physical conditions had more than twice the odds of having health literacy difficulties compared to respondents with only physical conditions (adjusted OR 2.53 (95% CI 2.02–3.18) and 2.28 (95% CI 1.92–2.72) for the scales, respectively). Conclusions: Our results suggest that responding to patients’ health literacy needs is crucial for individuals with multimorbidity – especially those with combined mental and physical conditions.
