Abstract：Objective To investigate the level of health literacy and its influencing factors among university students in Xi'an City, so as to provide the basis for improving the health literacy level among university students. Methods Students from five comprehensive universities in Xi'an City were selected using a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method from September to December 2023. Data of basic information and health literacy were collected using questionnaire surveys. The health literacy level of university students was analyzed and factors affecting health literacy level among university students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results A total of 1 815 students were surveyed, including 803 males (44.24%) and 1 012 females (55.76%), and had a mean age of (20.07±1.70) years. The overall health literacy level was 40.17%. The health literacy levels of basic knowledge and concept, healthy lifestyle and behaviors, and basic skills were 61.98%, 41.32% and 27.82%, respectively. The health literacy levels of safety and first aid, scientific health outlook, health information, chronic disease prevention and control, infectious disease prevention and control, and basic medical care were 73.44%, 70.14%, 53.50%, 50.36%, 39.34% and 33.72%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the university students who were female (OR=1.339, 95%CI: 1.034-1.733), majored in medicine (OR=1.668, 95%CI: 1.306-2.129), had a normal body mass index (OR=1.326, 95%CI: 1.056-1.688) and had no smoking history (OR=2.072, 95%CI: 1.122-2.192) had higher health literacy levels. Conclusions The health literacy levels among university students in Xi'an City are relatively low in terms of basic skills, infectious disease prevention and control, and basic medical care. Gender, major, body mass index and smoking history are influencing factors for health literacy level among university students.
