Older adults’ Internet use behavior and its association with accelerometer-derived physical activity
Older adults with a low frequency of Internet use or those who did not use the Internet (i.e., those who used the Internet less than once a week or not at all, respectively) were less likely to meet the WHO's recommended levels for PA than older adults who used the Internet with moderate frequency. The findings of this study can inform efforts to reduce age-related health risks and promote strategies for encouraging PA.
