The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2013) data was used to investigate internet use and mobile phone ownership in older Chinese adults and examine digital divide and social economic status and mobile technology adoption and health outcomes associations. Results suggest a significant digital divide associated with not only individual characteristics, but also neighborhood resources. Future eHealth programs should consider the accessibility of mobile tools and develop culturally appropriate programs for different social groups.
中国健康与养老追踪调查（CHARLS，2013）数据被用于调查中国老年人的互联网使用和手机拥有情况，并检验数字鸿沟与社会经济地位以及移动技术采用与健康结果之间的关联。结果表明，不仅与个人特征有关，而且与邻里资源有关，存在显著的数字鸿沟。未来的电子健康项目应考虑移动工具的可及性，并为不同社会群体制定符合文化背景的项目。
