Residents' health knowledge was insufficient, requiring strengthened health education, particularly for older adults and those with lower levels of education/income. Although health beliefs are strong, transforming them into sustained healthy actions remains a challenge. Health literacy is closely linked to lifestyle behaviors, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to promote proactive health management.
