Note: Analysed by multiple linear regression analyses. All analyses were adjusted for gender, age, and SES. Abbreviations: HL, health literacy; CI, confidence interval. 1 For the outcomes of fruit consumption and vegetable consumption, three participants were excluded from the analyses due to outliers.
