As the Internet evolves in urban communities, its consequences on mental distress have drawn significant research attention. We examine the relationships of mental distress with neighborhood environment and Internet use among older adults, using data from a representative sample of 2036 adults aged older than 60 years in Shanghai, China. We assess mental health with a 10-item scale from the Symptom Checklist 90 and Internet use with a 4-item scale and obtain information of neighborhood environment from an online map platform. Results from multilevel models show that both neighborhood environment and Internet use are significantly related to mental distress. Moreover, a worse neighborhood environment may strengthen the correlation between Internet use and mental distress, indicating the strong moderating role of the neighborhood environment. Thus, promoting Internet use among elderly people might result in a reduction in the prevalence of mental distress in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
随着互联网在城市社区中的发展，其对精神困扰的影响引起了广泛的研究关注。我们使用来自中国上海一个具有代表性的 2036 名 60 岁以上成年人样本的数据，研究了精神困扰与老年人邻里环境和互联网使用之间的关系。我们使用症状清单 90 的 10 项量表评估心理健康，使用在线地图平台获取邻里环境信息。多层次模型的结果表明，邻里环境和互联网使用都与精神困扰显著相关。此外，较差的邻里环境可能会加强互联网使用与精神困扰之间的相关性，表明邻里环境具有很强的调节作用。因此，促进老年人使用互联网可能会降低劣势社区中精神困扰的患病率。
