Abstract

Rapid population aging and the intensifying digitalization of everyday life are unfolding simultaneously in China. While prior studies have largely examined pairwise associations among digital inclusion, social engagement, mental health, and overall health status, few have evaluated an integrated, theoretically grounded pathway linking these domains in later life.

Research summary

The paper claims to evaluate an integrated pathway linking digital inclusion, social engagement, mental health, and overall health status among older Chinese adults. This research is relevant as it addresses the intersection of digital inclusion and active aging, which can influence the quality of life and well-being in the aging population.
