This study explored the differences in health information verification behavior according to digital literacy and health empowerment between elderly and non-elderly groups. Targeting a total of 1,000 people in the two groups, demographic characteristics according to digital literacy and health empowerment were investigated. Interestingly, this study found that elderly people fell primarily in the category of low digital literacy and high health empowerment. However, non-elderly people were frequently found in the high digital literacy and low health empowerment category. Also, our analyses found an interaction effect in digital literacy and health empowerment on health information verification behavior in the elderly group, while the main effect of health empowerment was verified in the non-elderly group. These results imply that the elderly need to improve both digital literacy and health empowerment, while the non-elderly need to focus on developing subjective confidence through health empowerment.
