Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study included 384 adults aged 19–64 in Metropolitan Lima. OHL was measured with the Peruvian version of HeLD-14. Sociodemographic factors included gender, age, residence, children, insurance, education, occupation, and monthly income. Results: Mean OHL was 48.60 ± 6.89; higher in women and higher-income participants. Literacy decreased with age and number of children. Adjusted regression associated OHL with female sex, younger age, and monthly income > five minimum wages.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 384 Peruvian adults aged 19 to 64 who visited a health center in Metropolitan Lima. OHL was measured using the Peruvian version of the Health Literacy in Dentistry-14 (HeLD-14) score. Sociodemographic characteristics, including gender, age, place of residence, number of children, health insurance status, educational level, occupation, and monthly income, were collected. Bivariate analysis was performed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests, while multivariate analysis was conducted using the linear regression model with a significance level of 5% . Results: The average OHL score was 48.60 ± 6.89. Literacy was higher in women (p = 0.004) and among those with higher incomes (p = 0.002). Conversely, literacy decreased with increasing age (p = 0.022) and number of children (p = 0.033). In the adjusted model, an association was found with being female (β = 0.097, p = 0.001), younger age (β = -0.003, p = 0.015), and a monthly income greater than five minimum wages (β= 0.100, p = 0.025) . Conclusion: OHL in an adult population in an urban area tends to be high and is associated with sociodemographic characteristics such as gender, age, and monthly income.\u003Cbr>Keywords (Mesh): health literacy; oral health; social determinants of health; adult\u003Cbr>RESUMEN\u003Cbr>Objetivo: Determinar las características sociodemográficas asociadas a la alfabetización en salud oral en adultos peruanos que acuden a un centro de salud público de Lima. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal en 384 peruanos adultos con edades comprendidas entre 19 y 64 años que acudieron a un centro de salud de Lima Metropolitana. La alfabetización en salud oral se midió a través del puntaje obtenido a través del Health Literacy in Dentistry-14 (HeLD-14), versiónperuana, y se recopilaron características sociodemográficas como sexo, edad, lugar de residencia, número de hijos, tenencia de seguro de salud, grado de instrucción, ocupación e ingreso mensual. Elanálisis bivariado se realizó a través de las pruebas no paramétricas U de Mann-Whitney, KruskalWallis y correlación de Spearman; y el análisis multivariado, a través del modelo de regresión lineal considerando un nivel de significancia del 5%. Resultados: El promedio de alfabetización en salud oral fue de 48,60 ± 6,89. La alfabetización fue mayor en mujeres (p = 0,004), así como en los que declararon ingresos mayores (p = 0,002) . A mayor edad (p = 0,022) y mayor número de hijos (p = 0,033) la alfabetización fue menor. En el modelo ajustado, se encontró asociación entre ser de sexo femenino (β = 0,097 p = 0,001), menor edad (β = -0,003 p = 0,015) e ingreso mensual mayor a cinco sueldos mínimos (β = 0,100 p = 0,025) .
