Abstract
A growing academic attention has been paid to the health effects of Internet use among older adults. However, the relationship between Internet use and health among older adults in China remains to be studied further. On the one hand, existing research is still controversial on this issue. On the other hand, the underlying mechanism of how Internet use affects the health of older adults has not been fully explored. This article examined the relationship between Internet use and health among older adults with the mediating role of social capital in China based on the 2018 wave of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). This study reveals that Internet use has a positive association with the health of older adults, and the positive effects of internet use among older adults are heterogeneous in age and residential location. In addition, this study also demonstrates that social capital plays a partial mediating role between Internet use and physical health among older adults. It is important for the government to take effective measures to expand Internet use and enhance social capital among older adults.
摘要
学术界越来越关注老年人使用互联网对健康的影响。然而，中国老年人使用互联网与健康之间的关系仍有待进一步研究。一方面，现有研究在这个问题上仍存在争议。另一方面，互联网使用如何影响老年人健康的潜在机制尚未得到充分探索。本文基于2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查（CHARLS），考察了社会资本的中介作用下中国老年人使用互联网与健康之间的关系。研究表明，互联网使用与老年人健康呈正相关，且老年人使用互联网的积极影响在年龄和居住地点上存在异质性。此外，本研究还表明，社会资本在老年人使用互联网与身体健康之间起部分中介作用。政府采取有效措施扩大老年人互联网使用并增强其社会资本非常重要。
