This report examines health literacy using information from the 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (ALLS). Health literacy generally increased from the 15 to 19 years age group up to the 35 to 39 years age group, and then generally decreased for those aged 40 years and over. Both males and females achieved similar levels of health literacy overall.
