Influence of cognitive reserve on technology use behavior in elderly people: The role of education and daily activities

The analysis of the relationship between cognitive reserve and mobile phone use behavior in older adults reveals that factors such as education and activities of daily living and social life influence their adaptation to technology. In particular, academic education had a direct and strong impact on mobile phone use behavior, highlighting the importance of continuous education in active aging and technological integration. Although activities of daily living and social life showed a significant trend, hobbies did not appear to have a relevant influence on this behavior. These findings underscore the importance of cognitive reserve in promoting technology use among older adults and suggest areas of intervention to improve their digital inclusion.
