AbstractE-health literacy refers to the ability to search, locate, and evaluate health information from electronic resources to address or solve a problem. Despite the importance of e-health literacy on health, there is little knowledge on the associated predictors with e-health literacy in Korean adults. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which e-health literacy is associated with social relationship (e.g., social connectedness, social support), psychological factors (e.g., anxiety, depressive symptoms), and access to health information factors (e.g., internet news, SNS, the importance of internet access to health information) among younger, middle-aged, and older Korean adults. This study also examined the moderating effects of age on these associations.Keywords: e-health literacy, social connectedness, social support, anxiety, depressive symptoms, Korean adults
