In 2021, 73 percent of internet users in Iceland between 16 and 24 responded that they used the internet to search for health information online. While 79 percent among the 25 to 24-year-olds also informed themselves about health issues online. The least likely to research for health information online were people aged between 55 and 64 years old, with 60 percent responding that they used the internet as for this purpose.Â
The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people of different age groups. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
