Abstract
The capacity to acquire, interpret and understand health information to make decisions about health-promoting behaviors can be defined as the purposeful relationship of this study.The theoretical approach of agency has been proposed with emphasis on opportunity and choice to analyze variables and explain the findings.The methodology of this research is descriptive and correlational and the statistical population of citizens over 18 years of age in urban areas of Mashhad based on a sample of 650 people in terms of volume appropriate to each region is considered a simple random.The standardized questionnaire, judges' agreement was used to achieve content validity and reliability coefficient of health literacy (0.822) and health-promoting behaviors (0.800).The results indicate that based on the spatial analysis of clustering, the average health literacy status was better than the health-promoting behaviors in general and distinctly in urban areas.status of the dependent variable in urban areas has not been very favorableBackground variables did not have a significant relationship with the main variables of the research.The extent and intensity of the relationships between the main and secondary hypotheses are significantly less than0.05 on average and above.The beta regression results show that the functional,communication, critical and basic components with the value of 69% correlation coefficient, respectively,had the greatest effect on the dependent variable. Also,the results of the prediction equation can explain49% of the variance of the dependent variable.
