abstract = {Aim: The aim of this study was to measure of health literacy in the migrant population
and establish a type of immigrant profile with a higher risk of presenting low levels of
health literacy.
Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study.
Methods: Health literacy was measured in a total of 278 immigrants using HLSEU-Q16. An inferential descriptive and multiple regression analysis was carried out.
Results: 65.1% having inadequate and problematic health literacy. Significant correlations were found between health literacy and length of stay in Spain (r = .398), age
(r = .178p) and perceived social status (r = .151). Participants with shorter length of
stay (β = .405 1), without health sciences education (β = .205) and low education level
(β = .182) had limited health literacy.},
