Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] Under the background of aging population and "Healthy China" strategy, more attention should be paid to how to effectively improve the health information screening capability and health information literacy of the elderly. [Method/Process] Eighty elderly people were recruited in Jiaxing city library in Zhejiang province and a community of Daqing city in Heilongjiang province. Questionnaire survey and quasi-experimental method were used to explore the current situation of elderly people’s health information screening ability, and the influence of pseudo-health information feature list, learning guidance and social support on their screening ability improvement. [Result/Conclusion] It is found that the elderly’s health information screening ability is rather low, especially in screening information contents. Learning the characteristics of pseudo-health information can effectively improve the discrimination accuracy of the elderly. Health status, attention to health information, general social support, participation in activities of libraries and universities for the elderly, and learning intervention significantly affect the improvement of health information screening ability of the elderly. Local government, communities, and libraries, etc. should strengthen intervention education of the elderly’s health knowledge and information screening ability, and enhance the elderly’s attention to health information and social support.
