A Literacia em Saúde [LS] abrange o conhecimento, a motivação e as competências das pessoas, para aceder, compreender, avaliar e aplicar informações sobre saúde levando a toma-das de decisão acerca dos cuidados de saúde, prevenção de doença e promoção da saúde, de forma a manter ou melhorar a sua qualidade de vida ao longo do ciclo de vida. Podemos considerar a LS como um desafio, mas também uma oportunidade, sendo a população idosa um grupo etário vul-nerável. Objetivo: Aumentar o nível de Literacia em Saúde dos alunos da Universidade Sénior de Sousel. Métodos: Foi realizado um projeto de intervenção “+ Literacia, Melhor Saúde”, iniciado com a aplicação de questionário para avaliar o nível de LS, seguindo de intervenções com base na metodologia do planeamento em saúde, sendo a população os alunos da Universidade Sénior de Sousel [USS]. Resultados: Verificou-se uma elevada percentagem de nível de LS problemática e inadequada (76%). O projeto de intervenção teve boa adesão, e as metas e indicadores propostos foram atingidos. Conclusões: O projeto de intervenção pareceu demonstrar aumento dos níveis de literacia em saúde dos alunos da USS
