“…Studies have even suggested more awareness to create senior friendly websites, taking into account cognitive decline (26). Lower cognitive functioning has been related to not starting to use the Internet in old age (16). Some studies have highlighted that cognitive aspects are less understood than other age-related declines, when it comes to F o r P e e r R e v i e w 3 Internet use by older adults (27).…”

“…Today's older-adult is not an evident technology and Internet user but perhaps the next generation will be. In the last six years there has been an increase in the Internet use among older-adults (16,17). Yet, they are still slower than younger adults to adopt the Internet (16,18,19).…”

Keywords:collaborative work practices and IT, health information on the Web, healthcare service innovation and IT, IT design and development methodologies, healthcare professional training Abstract:Older-adults living in rural and urban areas have shown to distinguish themselves in technology adoption; a clearer profile of their Internet use is important in order to provide better technological and healthcare solutions. Older-adults' Internet use was investigated across large to midsize cities and rural Sweden. The sample consisted of 7181 older-adults ranging from 59-100 years old. Internet use was investigated with: age, education, gender, household economy, cognition, living alone/or with someone and rural/urban living. Logistic regression was used. Those living in rural areas used the Internet less than their urban counterparts. Being younger and higher educated influenced Internet use; for older urban adults these factors as well as living with someone and http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/HIJ Health Informatics Journal F o r P e e r R e v i e w having good cognitive functioning were influential. Solutions are needed to avoid the exclusion of some older-adults by a society that is today being shaped by the Internet.

Context: Internet use has been viewed as one of the indicator of active aging. However, whether the differences of using Internet for older people due to area discrepancies or individual disparities influence Internet use for older people or not are not confirmed. Objective:The study aims to examine the Internet use in different areas and other related individual factors for the middle-aged and older adults in Taiwan. Design:The secondary data were from the 2013 middle-aged and older adults digital divide survey. Setting and participants:The sample was drawn from the older population aged 50 years old or more. The interviews were collected over the phone in 2013 (n=7157). Descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, and logistic regression were applied.Results: There were 43.0% of the participants using Internet. The participants who lived in the towns with higher digital development, female, younger, having higher education, with occupation related to technology/science/art, housewife/ students, and retirees, and those with higher incomes were more likely to use Internet. Different purposes for Internet users and barrier types for non-users were related to individual characteristics. Discussion: Removal of the structural barriers and encouraging lifelong education in Internet use are suggested.

Participation in online activities offers older adults enhanced opportunities to cope with age-related limitations and live a socially connected life. For investigating the factors explaining whether older adults use the internet or not, logistic regression has been used, which requires considerable care in the computation and reporting of regression models. The objective of this review is to assess the extent to which the empirical literature examining internet use among older adults (aged 55 +) addresses commonly recommended quality criteria for logistic regression analysis. We carried out a systematic search in Scopus and PubMed for English-language peer-reviewed articles reporting the application of logistic regression, published between 2010 and 2020. Thirty-six articles were eligible for inclusion. We evaluated the articles for six analytic and three documentation criteria. Every article described the selection of independent variables and their coding. Most studies had sufficient events per independent variable (83%), reported point and interval estimates of effect sizes (81%), and stated the fitting procedure used (81%). The reporting rates were lower for the assessment of model fit (53%), consideration of interactions (44%), and testing for conformity with linear gradient (42%) and collinearity (31%). This review provides comprehensive insights into the state of adoption of logistic regression analysis. We suggest improvements for reporting on the studies specific to older adults’ internet use, which can promote the accurate interpretation of articles and the integration of evidence from single studies.
