The aim of this paper is to obtain the existence evidence of health literacy impact in improving older adults health status and functional or physical well-being living in community-setting and clinical setting. This paper used some databases Proquest database, PubMed, Sage Journal, Scopus, Ebscohost, Science Direct, anf Taylor & Francis. There are 11 articles published between 2014 - 2024 were reviewed using the PRISMA method. This review found that there are different types of health literacy media (print and digital) and there are combination of health literacy with physical activity interventions to deliver health information to older people. Standardized health literacy media in readability, and easy to use such as video/web/electronic, game-based, digital, and mobile-based and health literacy interventions combined with planned physical activities can increase knowledge, self-efficacy, cognitive function, quality of life, and reducing frailty score, fall risk, depression score.
