Does the digital divide accelerate cognitive function decline related to the poor management of diabetes in later life?
Introduction: The objective is to investigate the role of digital exclusion in the association between diabetes and cognitive function among adults aged 50 and above.
Methods: 107,188 participants aged 50 years old and above across 31 countries from 2010-2018 were involved. The mixed-effects linear regression models were used to analyze the data.
Results: The presence of diabetes was found to be associated with a notable reduction in the global cognitive function score (unadjusted β=-0.27, 95% CI: -0.28, -0.25). The presence of digital exclusion was found to have a significant association with the decline in cognitive function scores related to diabetes. Similar trends were observed in the scores for memory, numeracy, and orientation.
Discussion: These findings underscore the importance of addressing the digital divide to promote healthy aging. Developing digital interventions targeting diabetes-related cognitive impairments and fostering digital inclusion among older adults with diabetes hold significant value in preventing cognitive impairment.
期刊介绍:
In view of the ever-increasing fraction of elderly people, understanding the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity. ''Gerontology'', the oldest journal in the field, responds to this need by drawing topical contributions from multiple disciplines to support the fundamental goals of extending active life and enhancing its quality. The range of papers is classified into four sections. In the Clinical Section, the aetiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of agerelated diseases are discussed from a gerontological rather than a geriatric viewpoint. The Experimental Section contains up-to-date contributions from basic gerontological research. Papers dealing with behavioural development and related topics are placed in the Behavioural Science Section. Basic aspects of regeneration in different experimental biological systems as well as in the context of medical applications are dealt with in a special section that also contains information on technological advances for the elderly. Providing a primary source of high-quality papers covering all aspects of aging in humans and animals, ''Gerontology'' serves as an ideal information tool for all readers interested in the topic of aging from a broad perspective.
