The information was synthesized using frequencies for country, year of study and type of research.Results: 254 publications were found, of which 33 met the analysis criteria: 16 from India, three from Colombia, two from Iran, two from China, two from Kuwait and the remainder from different countries such as Yemen, Sudan, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brazil and Mexico. Of the studies 72.73% (n = 24) evaluated prevalence of dental caries, another 33% (n = 11) dental trauma, 75.76% (n = 25) soft and hard bacterial plaque, 3.03% (n = 1) quality of life, 15.15% (n = 5) dental malocclusion, another 57.58% (n = 19) gingival and/or periodontal condition and 24.24% (n = 8) other lesions or clinical findings.

The study population was made up of Latin American university students in 2024. Technology addiction was measured with the Labrador JF questionnaire and academic performance with a perception test. A telematic questionnaire distributed through social networks was applied. Descriptive and analytical statistics were applied with the Epi Info 7™ program.Results: The sample included 445 students, 320 women (71.91%) with a mean age of 23 ± 9 years and 125 men (28.09%) with a mean age of 22 ± 7 years. Most reside in Peru and Paraguay. The most used devices were cell phones and computers (46.74%). 68.99% (n 307) do not have their own economic income. The average time spent daily using these electronic devices was 4 hours. Addiction to technological equipment was detected in 165 (37.08%) students and low academic performance was reported by 281 students (63.15%).

In the 21st century, 87.2% of the population uses a mobile health-related application, and the use of these tools has the capacity to promote healthier habits, with an odds ratio of 2.9 (CI 1.3–6.4) for engaging in frequent self-care health practices. Thus, access to health services goes beyond adolescence and extends into adulthood and old age. In old age, access to care has also been widely reported as a critical issue. Health education, when approached from a digital perspective, creates a differential environment for current times. It is essential to integrate digitalization into the health landscape, leading to a necessary reconfiguration of the processes of health and life care. This not only contributes to the timely identification of risks, the traceability of care, individual follow-up, early detection, or epidemiological analysis for decision-making, but—when aligned with the operationalization of the health system—it should also contribute to improving access, timeliness, safety, and the strengthening of quality of care. Furthermore, it promotes individual responsibility in self-care, even at the end of life. In conclusion, the importance of digitalization and primary health care in building health contexts throughout the aging process cannot be overlooked.","PeriodicalId":38814,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas de Cordoba","volume":"82 3","pages":"686-695"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145207815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
