Digital health literacy among older adults in China: a cross-sectional study on prevalence and influencing factors
This study reveals suboptimal digital health literacy among older adults in China, driven by rural-urban disparities, gender gaps and limited digital engagement. In future, interventions tailored to specific needs, such as community-based training, telemedicine promotion and family-supported digital education, will be critical in bridging this gap.
