    Abstract
  •   Objective  The correlation between elderly social participation, internet usage, and sedentary behavior has drawn significant attention. With the accelerated aging process in China, issues concerning the health and social participation of the elderly have become increasingly prominent. This study aims to shed light on the health and social participation issues of the elderly by exploring the relationship between elderly social participation, internet usage, and sedentary behavior.  Methods  Based on data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) 2021, an empirical analysis was conducted on 935 elderly individuals to investigate the impact of internet usage and sedentary behavior on their social participation.  Results  After controlling for gender, ethnicity, education level, BMI, marital status, and alcohol consumption, internet usage had a significant positive effect on elderly social participation (r=0.113, P=0.046), while sedentary behavior had a significant negative effect (r=-0.348, P < 0.001).  Conclusion  Internet usage has a positive impact on elderly social participation, while sedentary behavior has a negative impact. It is essential for families and society to support the elderly in adapting to the digital age while addressing their needs and challenges in internet usage. Efforts should be made to create a more inclusive and friendly digital environment, encourage outdoor activities and group social interactions, reduce sedentary behavior, help them establish broader social networks, improve their quality of life, and enhance their social participation.
