AB  - This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of Brazilian-Portuguese 
      versions of the Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) scale in a sample of elderly 
      Brazilian participants. HeLD was initially translated into and cross-culturally 
      adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese language. The reliability and validity of 
      HeLD were then assessed in a sample of 535 non-institutionalized older persons 
      who also completed a questionnaire containing sociodemographic and health 
      information. Data were then randomly separated into two sub-datasets, and 
      Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed through structural equation modelling, 
      with a maximum likelihood estimate to test the fit of the data to the factor 
      structure of the long-and short-form HeLD (HeLD-29 and HeLD-14) versions of the 
      instrument. The models were compared using the Akaike Information Criterion to 
      assess goodness-of-fit and to determine which models were preferred. Internal 
      consistency of HeLD was evaluated using Cronbach s coefficient alpha. Both versions 
      of HeLD were observed to demonstrate high internal reliability (Cronbach s alpha >/= 
      0.87 for all seven subscales), acceptable convergent (estimates of >/= 0.50 for AVE 
      and >/= 0.70 for CR) and discriminant validity. However, the goodness-of-fit of the 
      confirmatory factor analysis models demonstrated satisfactory results only for 
      HeLD-14 subsamples (x2/df = 1.8-2.3; CFI = 0.97-0.98; GFI/NFI = 0.98-0.99; RMSEA 
      = 0.05 and SRMR = 0.03). In conclusion, HeLD-14 was shown to be a reliable and 
      valid instrument to measure oral health literacy in elderly Brazilian 
      participants.
