Introdução. Literacia para a Saúde (LS) relaciona-se às capacidades individuais de acesso, compreensão, avaliação e aplicação das informações de saúde, a fim de se tomar decisões na vida diária, para manter ou melhorar a saúde. Objetivo. Revisar os estudos sobre LS conduzidos nos países de renda baixa ou média, com ênfase na definição utilizada para LS. Metodologia. Revisão sistemática nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, Scopus, LILACS e Scielo. Foram incluídos estudos que apresentavam a definição de LS, estudos em países de economias de renda baixa ou média e estudos latino-americanos. Inicialmente foi feita leitura dos títulos e/ou resumos. Dois avaliadores independentes realizaram a leitura do texto completo. Discordâncias foram discutidas por consenso. Resultados. Foram encontradas 6.025 referências e selecionadas 36 para a amostra final. A maioria dos estudos (58,3%) era de países do continente asiático, seguidos pelos estudos em países da América do Sul (27,8%), incluindo o Brasil. A maior parte (58,3%) avaliou a dimensão funcional da LS (LFS). As definições mais frequentes foram do Instituto de Medicina dos Estados Unidos e da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Aproximadamente 30% dos estudos que avaliaram a LFS utilizaram como referencial teórico definições mais abrangentes de LS.
