Objective To investigate nutrition literacy status and influencing factors of migrant population in China, and to provide scientific evidence for the realignment of nutrition education in the migrant population. Methods 8 438 subjects aged 15 -69 years were selected form the special health literacy survey data of China Migrants Dynamic Survey conducted in 2016 in China, and then the related information was extracted to calculate the level of nutrition literacy, x² test was used for comparison between groups and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results The overall level of nutrition literacy was 18. 37% in China migrant population. The level of nutrition literacy for those aged 15 -29, 30 -44 and 45 -69 were respectively 16. 87%, 19.26%, and 19.03% (x² =6.749, P = 0.034). The level of nutrition literacy for college and above migrants was 24. 04% and 14. 09% for primary school and below migrants (x² = 45. 384, P <0. 001). The level of nutrition literacy of migrants who had purchased house in their household registration, migrant place, or other places were respectively 21. 13%, 18. 38%, and 16. 87% with statistically significant (x² = 17. 516, P <0. 001). Migrants moved alone was higher than those moved with relatives (19. 85% VS 17. 65%, x² = 6. 002, P =0. 014). There were statistical differences in nutrition literacy between migrants with or without health record establishment and those did not know whether with health record establishment (20. 41% VS 19. 79% VS 14. 23%, x² = 21. 587, P < 0. 001) . The level of nutrition literacy was significantly higher for migrants with good or better self-rated health than those with general or poor self-rated health (19. 79% VS 12. 86%, x² = 44. 170, P <0. 001). The level of nutrition literacy of migrants with or without scientific view of health were 29. 56% and 0. 73% (x² = 1. 10 X 10³, P <0. 001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the level of nutrition literacy was more likely higher in migrants of following characteristics, aged 30 to 44 years old (OR = 1. 358, P <0. 001) or 45 to 69 years old (OR = 1. 674, P < 0. 001), with education level of college and above (OR = 1. 363, P = 0. 012), with place of house purchase was household registration (OR = 1.331, P = 0. 001) and with scientific view of health (OR = 55. 725, P < 0. 001), whereas migrants who migranted not alone (OR = 0. 876, P =0. 048), without good self-aware health (OR =0. 778, P =0. 020) and not clear whether health record was established(OR =0. 610, P <0. 001) were lower at the level of nutrition literacy. Conclusion The study reveals that the nutrition literacy of migrant population of China is still at a lower level and need to be improved. Factors that mainly influence the nutrition literacy of migrant population are educational level, age, place of house purchase, health record establishment, whether migrant alone and whether with scientific view of health.
