Assess the levels of HL related to ARD, through its domains – functional, interactive and critical – and its relationship with sociodemographic variables; as well analyze a possible relationship between the different levels of literacy and the presence of DPF. Cross-sectional study, consisting of 318 women who completed two online tests “Health Literacy - Knowledge about diastasis of the rectus abdominal muscles” and the “Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory”.
