Respondents were more likely to use the Internet if they reported good health. The presence of most chronic diseases reduced use of the Internet; however, this was not the case for those reporting asthma, anxiety or sleep apnoea. Internet use decreased as the number of reported co\u2010morbidities increased. However, once online, self\u2010perceived overall health and number of chronic diseases did not affect use of the Internet to find health information.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study is important as there is currently little information available about Internet use for health information by older Australians.

However, practitioners need to consider the fact that this mode of delivery reinforces existing social divides; requires people to have Internet access and be both literate and e\u2010literate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpja.5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,3]],"date-time":"2018-01-03T12:05:12Z","timestamp":1514981112000},"page":"72-78","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Are older Australians with chronic diseases online?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Pippa","family":"Burns","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Medicine University of Wollongong Wollongong NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra C.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Social Research Australian Catholic University Melbourne VIC Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Caputi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology University of Wollongong Wollongong NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Don","family":"Iverson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn VIC Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"182","volume-title":"Australia's Health 2012","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","unstructured":"AIHW.Australia's Health 2014.
