Consistent and robust predictors of Internet Use among older adults over time identified by machine learning

作者:

Highlights:

• This study investigated robust predictors of Internet use among older adults.

• Machine learning identified cognition and socioeconomics as top predictors.

• Main findings were consistent across a span of 14 years.

• Cognitive predictors included memory and visuospatial abilities.

• Machine learning also discovered new predictors of Internet use, such as alcohol use.
