Researches have indicated that the Internet may be an effective method to achieve the goal. The Internet provides a wealth of information and services, and more and more older adults are accessing various health information online. Moreover, numerous studies have confirmed that PA brings many health benefits to the elderly. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between Internet use and PA in older adults.The objectives of this study were as the following: (1) To understand the association between the sociodemographic characteristics of the older adults and their use of the Internet and PA. (2) To investigate the association between Internet use and PA among the older adults. This study recruited 199 individuals aged 65 and above, who were capable to walk independently and had no cognitive impairments. PA was measured using the ActiGraph triaxial accelerometer (GT3X+, Pensacola, Florida), worn constantly for 7 days, at least 10 hours per day, at least 4 days which one weekend day included. Internet use was assessed through a digital survey questionnaire developed by the Digital Development Department to understand usage patterns, and sociodemographic variables were collected. After coding the questionnaires and converting the PA data, incomplete data were excluded, resulting in 172 valid samples. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23, including descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression.The results were as follows: (1) Older adults with a “moderate frequency of Internet use” were more likely than those with “low or no Internet use” to meet the WHO-recommended 150 minutes of PA per week, and also had a higher average daily step count. Older adults who use the Internet for “Goods-and-Information Acquisition “are more likely than those who use it “no use/ no purpose or others” to meet the WHO-recommended 150 minutes of PA per week, and also engage in more moderate or moderate to vigorous intensity PA and have a higher average daily step count.This study provided empirical evidence for health communication support and could be used to be a reference for policies promoting PA among older adults, or as a basis for evaluating digital product development and health arouse plan in the service industry of older adults, with the aim of improving the health development of the older population in Taiwan.高齡者網路使用身體活動健康促進網路使用頻率physical activityInternet useolder adultsaccelerometerdigital use學術論文
