Literacy skills significantly influence these behaviors at this age; however, health literacy often receives insufficient attention from the government for this age group. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of health asset profiles and health literacy among elementary school-aged children. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 431 sixth-grade students from the Sumedang district, recruited through a cluster sampling method. Various research instruments were employed, including the Family Affluence Scale (FAS III), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children (HBSC), European Health Literacy Scale (HLS-EU), and the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) survey. Data were self-reported by participants, and BMI measurements were also collected. The Chi-square test was employed for statistical analysis. Results: The results revealed notable variations across the assessed health asset profile sub-variables. Functional health literacy was significantly associated with self-esteem ( p <0.001), student behavior ( p =0.010), wake-up time ( p <0.001), and smoking habit ( p <0.001). In contrast, no significant associations were found with family affluence ( p =0.868), BMI ( p =0.809), physical activity ( p =0.087), or bedtime ( p =0.092). Gender-based comparisons revealed significant differences between boys and girls in self-esteem ( p =0.042), BMI ( p <0.001), physical activity ( p <0.001), bedtime ( p =0.004), wake-up time ( p =0.005), and smoking behavior ( p =0.001). Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of health literacy in school-aged children, highlighting variations across health-related behaviors and asset profiles. Significant gender disparities were found in self-esteem, nutritional status, physical activity, bedtime, wake-up time, and smoking behavior. These findings highlight the importance of developing gender-sensitive health promotion strategies to enhance health literacy and promote healthy behaviors from early ages. }, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {53--64} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v15i1.66904}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/66904} }
