To analyse the data we used descriptive statistics and to study the relationship among variables, statistical tests such as chi square, T test, and one way ANOVA were applied.Findings: Most of the ELDERLY people had inadequate HEALTH LITERACY (52.5%). There was a statistically significant association between HEALTH LITERACY with education (p=0.021) and job (p=0.041) in ELDERLY. Also there was a statistically significant association between ADL with HEALTH LITERACY (p=0.038), but there was no statistically significant association between age, gender, marital status, economical status and physical functional with HEALTH LITERACY.Conclusion: Enhancing HEALTH LITERACY may be an effective strategy to improve ELDERLY people’s HEALTH STATUS.
