The dose-response relationship between light physical activity and electronic health literacy among community-dwelling older adults
This study provides empirical evidence that higher e-health literacy and its specific sub-dimensions are positively associated with light physical activity (LPA) among community-dwelling older adults, with educational attainment emerging as a key independent predictor. These findings suggest that public health interventions aimed at promoting LPA could be enhanced by incorporating strategies to improve e-health literacy, particularly targeting older adults with lower educational backgrounds. The development of tailored, theory-informed programs based on these insights holds promise for fostering healthy aging at the community level.
