The majority of Bulgarians, 61%, are ignorant when it comes to their health, according to a study of the Public Health Department of the Sofia Medical University.
Those with higher health culture or the so-called health literate have college degrees and/or reside in the country's largest cities.
People aged 55 or over have twice more difficulty to understand what doctors are telling them, compared to young Bulgarians – between the ages of 15 and 24.
Meanwhile, the high social status and education determine a higher health culture with 71% of the people in these groups being health literate.
