AB  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating role of 
      self-efficacy among rural elderly individuals in northern Sichuan Province in the 
      relationship between certain sociodemographic variables and nutritional literacy. 
      METHODS: Convenience sampling was used to select 264 elderly individuals aged 60 
      and above from rural communities in Cangxi County, Guangyuan City, Yilong County, 
      Nanchong City, and Bazhou District, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. A 
      self-designed questionnaire, including sociodemographic variables, the General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for the 
      Elderly (NLQ-E), was administered through face-to-face interviews using a 
      paper-based version. The relationships between sociodemographic variables, 
      self-efficacy, and nutritional literacy in the elderly were analyzed using SPSS 
      26.0 and the Process plugin to examine the relationships between variables and to 
      test for moderation effects. RESULTS: (1) There were significant differences in 
      nutrition literacy scores among elderly people of different ages, genders, 
      marital statuses, educational levels, personal monthly living expenses, dental 
      conditions, and number of chronic diseases (p < 0.05). (2) When elderly 
      individuals have lower self-efficacy, their nutritional literacy is lower as they 
      become older, and they have poorer nutritional literacy with a higher number of 
      chronic diseases. CONCLUSION: General population demographic data has a 
      significant impact on the nutritional literacy level of elderly people in rural 
      areas of northern Sichuan. Self-efficacy plays a moderating role in the 
      relationship between age and nutritional literacy, as well as the relationship 
      between the number of chronic diseases and nutritional literacy.
