Popis: Introduction: The study presents results of an innovative measurement of practical health literacy in international context. Aim: To show the level of practical health literacy in the Hungarian society and in international comparison. Method: We measured practical health literacy with Newest Vital Sign test on a Hungarian national representative sample, asked from 1008 persons, between May and June, 2015 from population 16 years or older, using methodological standards of Eurobarometer. The sample is representative to the above mentioned population by gender, age, region and settlement-size. Results: Based on Newest Vital Sign test, members of the Hungarian society have good practical health literacy. The accomplishment is inconsistent with self-reported health literacy, since it shows weak results. Conclusions: As low level of self-reported health literacy implies that respondents don’t have daily routine in practicing their skills, we could draw people’s attention to food-information, that are important and show, how to utilize them.
