Bridging The Digital Health Divide: Digital Endowment, Informal Social Participation, And Health Inequality Among Older Adults

Digital technology, as a new quality productive force, offers novel approaches to actively address population aging. The development and enhancement of digital endowment among older adults not only affects their physical and mental health but also serves as a crucial driver for advancing the construction of a digital society and mitigating health inequality.

Greater digital endowment (access, skills, and use of digital technology) is linked to better health outcomes and reduced health inequalities among older adults, especially when supported by informal social participation like family and peer engagement.
