Anticipating ageing: Older adults reading their medical records
作者：
Highlights：
• Older adults, who are still active in working life but approaching retirement, differ from other age groups by their health information behaviour.
• Older adults are the least confident and least motivated to use online health information.
• Difficulties in understanding and accepting health information do not necessarily apply to medical records, i.e. health information about oneself.
• The results do not indicate an obvious linear relationship between age and motivation to use online health information.
• Personal health information management is a central aspect of health information behaviour.
