NLit-S=Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument-Spanish

SAHL-S=Short Assessment of Health Literacy-Spanish; p=<0.05*; p≤0.001**

CFI=Comparative Fit Index ≥0.90 indicate acceptable model fit*

RMSEA=Root Mean Square of Approximation ≤ 0.06 indicate acceptable model fit**

Entire reliability is the reliability of the entire domain.
