Objetivo: evaluar, en una muestra poblacional, el nivel de alfabetización en salud de cuidadores familiares portugueses de personas mayores con EA-d. Método: estudio transversal, exploratorio, no intervencionista, descriptivo y analítico, con una muestra no aleatoria de 107 cuidadores familiares de personas mayores diagnosticadas con EA-d, seguidas en el Servicio de Neurología del Centro Hospitalar y Universitario de Coímbra, Portugal, con el cuestionario sociodemográfico y la Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale. El Comité de Ética en Investigación aprobó la investigación. Aplicadas las pruebas de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis y correlación de Spearman, con un nivel de significación del 5%. Resultados: el nivel de conocimiento de cuidadores familiares sobre la enfermedad de Alzheimer se sitúa entre el 63,3% y el 70%. La puntuación más alta se encontró en el dominio “Síntomas” (80,6±21,0) y la más baja en el dominio “Ser cuidador” (53,8±19,3). Conclusiones: se puso de relieve una brecha en alfabetización en salud en el dominio de ser cuidador, lo que señala necesidad de educación y formación en este ámbito.
