OBJECTIVE
We investigated associations among activity engagement (AE), number of available and relevant everyday technologies, ability to use everyday technologies, and cognitive status among older adults in an urban area.
METHOD
This cross-sectional study included 110 participants and used three assessments: the Frenchay Activities Index to measure AE, the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire to measure the number of and ability to use available and relevant everyday technologies, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to measure cognitive status. Data analyses used a one-way analysis of variance and a multiple linear regression model.
RESULTS
The number of available and relevant everyday technologies was significantly different (p < .001) among groups that varied in level of AE. Ability to use everyday technologies did not significantly differ among groups. Cognitive status did not explain level of AE when the number of available and relevant everyday technologies was considered.
CONCLUSION
Increasing the accessibility of available and relevant everyday technologies among older adults in an urban area may increase AE.
目的
我们调查了城市地区老年人的活动参与度（AE）、可用且相关的日常技术数量、使用日常技术的能力以及认知状态之间的关联。
方法
这项横断面研究纳入了110名参与者，并采用了三项评估：用法恩活动指数测量AE，用日常技术使用问卷测量可用且相关的日常技术数量及使用能力，用蒙特利尔认知评估量表测量认知状态。数据分析采用单因素方差分析和多元线性回归模型。
结果
在AE水平不同的组间，可用且相关的日常技术数量存在显著差异（p <.001）。各组间使用日常技术的能力无显著差异。在考虑可用且相关的日常技术数量时，认知状态无法解释AE水平。
结论
提高城市地区老年人获取可用且相关日常技术的便利性可能会增加AE。
