Background:
Impaired executive function is common in older adults. This study examined the causal relationship between the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and executive function in older adults over time.
Method:
This study performed a secondary analysis of data from four waves (2016-2019) of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. A fixed-effect analysis was conducted to examine the effects of ICT on the executive function of older adults without dementia aged ≥65 years. This study analyzed data from 3,334 respondents.
Results:
We observed significant positive effects of ICT use on executive function over time (standardized β=0.043-0.045; 95% confidence interval, 0.001-0.043; p<0.05).
Conclusion:
The current findings support the use of ICT as a protective approach to prevent decline in executive function in community-dwelling older adults.
