Health Motivation as a Predictor of mHealth Engagement Across BMI: Cross-Sectional Survey
Individuals with higher BMI reported a lower frequency of digital health tool use, potentially due to lower health motivation in the studied population. Health motivation was the strongest predictor of digital health engagement. Integrating personalized medical records into apps may enhance health motivation, thereby improving user engagement and promoting healthier behaviors in individuals with higher BMI.
