This study aimed to examine the association between participation in groups via SNS and greater offline social networks among middle\u2010aged and older individuals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>We conducted a web\u2010based questionnaire survey on 3106 respondents from September to October 2021 among members of \u201cthe Shumi\u2010to Club<\/jats:italic>,\u201d an SNS in Japan. They indicated the number of SNS groups they belonged to and were classified into two categories, namely, those with and without participation in SNS groups. The current study assessed offline social networks using the total frequency of face\u2010to\u2010face interactions with distant family members and friends. Ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed, and the frequency of offline interactions was set as the outcome with adjustment for sociodemographic variables and self\u2010rated health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Approximately 70.8% (n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092200) of the participants belonged to SNS groups. Participation in SNS groups was associated with higher frequencies of face\u2010to\u2010face interaction with friends (odds ratio [95% confidential intervals]: 1.78 [1.53\u20132.07]). However, the current study found no association between belonging to a group and face\u2010to\u2010face interaction with distant family members (1.09 [0.93\u20131.26]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The participation in SNS groups potentially promotes offline social networks, particularly with friends.
