Health Literacy in Patients With Acute Stroke Is Associated With Carotid Intima‐Media Wall Thickness: A Cross‐Sectional Study
This study demonstrates that health literacy is associated with mean CIMT in patients with acute stroke, with those having low health literacy exhibiting a higher mean CIMT than their counterparts. Therefore, improving health literacy may be an important management strategy to prevent atherosclerosis and its progression in patients with stroke.
