Abstract:
Nutrition literacy is an important part of health literacy, as well as an significant factor to enhance the quality of population, improving the nutritional status of residents and preventing nutrition-related diseases. In 2010, China developed an evaluation tool for health literacy and began to monitor residents′ health literacy. So far, eight national surveys on health literacy have been completed, providing an important basis for health promotion intervention strategies and related policies. However, in health literacy evaluation system, there is neither evaluation content of nutrition literacy, nor evaluation tools. In order to achieve the goals of "national nutrition plan (2017-2030)"and evaluate the implementation effect, it is urgent to carry out the assessment and monitoring of nutrition literacy. According to the nutritional characteristics of different populaitons, this research organizes national experts in related fields, following the principles of scientificity, conciseness and generality and through the scientific formulation procedures to construct the nutrition literacy assessment tools for different populations. This assessment tool can enhance the pertinence and scientificity of nutrition education and improve nutrition development strategy. The establishment of the nutrition literacy assessment tool is the premise of gradually establishing the nutrition literacy assessment system of the residents, and also lays a solid foundation for further conducting the national nutrition literacy evaluation work.
