Worldwide, the number of people aged 60 years and older steadily grows to a predicted 2 billion in 2050. Online interventions increasingly target lifestyle risk factors to promote healthy aging. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate whether Internet mediated lifestyle interventions can successfully change lifestyle in people aged 50 and older. A PubMed search was conducted resulting in twelve articles, based on ten studies. The studies focused on physical activity, weight loss, nutrition, and diabetes. Nine studies used feasible interventions, with an average small to moderate effect size. The most important result is that there are multiple studies reporting positive lifestyle changes in an older population. On average, complex interventions, whether they present tailored or generic information, and online or offline comparison, are more effective than interventions with only one component. Internet mediated interventions hold great potential in implementing effective lifestyle programs, capable of reaching large populations of older persons at very low costs.
在全球范围内，60 岁及以上人口的数量稳步增长，预计到 2050 年将达到 20 亿。在线干预措施越来越针对生活方式的危险因素，以促进健康老龄化。本系统评价的目的是评估互联网介导的生活方式干预措施是否能成功改变 50 岁及以上人群的生活方式。通过 PubMed 搜索，共得到 12 篇文章，基于 10 项研究。这些研究侧重于身体活动、减肥、营养和糖尿病。9 项研究采用了可行的干预措施，平均效果大小为小到中度。最重要的结果是，有多项研究报告称，在老年人群中发生了积极的生活方式改变。平均而言，复杂的干预措施，无论是提供定制化还是通用信息，以及线上还是线下比较，都比只有一个组成部分的干预措施更有效。互联网介导的干预措施具有很大的潜力，可以实施有效的生活方式计划，以非常低的成本覆盖大量的老年人群体。
