A two-stage analysis of social media use patterns, psychosocial well-being, and frailty in an aging Japan.
Abstract
In Japan's super-aged society, frailty prevention is a critical public health issue. While social media use is increasing among older adults, its impact on well-being is complex and not fully understood beyond a simple active-passive dichotomy. This study aims to explore the relationship between specific social media usage patterns, users' psychosocial backgrounds, and frailty risk.
