Assessment

Primary outcomes

The time it takes to acquire the ability to operate these devices from the starting point of being able to use a smartphone (the time threshold for subjective utility satisfaction).

Key secondary outcomes

Success or failure of operation and time required for learning by regression model with autonomic function HF/LF ratio as dependent variable and categorized explanatory variables of age, smartphone operation ability, spatial awareness, short-term memory, operation error event, and recognition difficulty event.

20

Results

The results showed that n=20 participants. There were 12 censored cases. The endpoint was reached by 8 participants, with a
reach rate of 40%. Among the outcomes, significant effects were the presence or absence of information literacy (p<.05) and the
effect of age (<75 years and above) (p<.15)

Baseline Characteristics

Subjects were middle-aged (40 years and
older) visually impaired people (n=20) living in Kusatsu-machi, Gunma Prefecture. Participants were required to walk and live
independently using a white cane. The study design was a 5-year cohort study. The endpoint was "confidence in one's own health"
(none to yes). Outcomes were age, gender, height, weight, body composition, self-health building confidence (confidence to live
longer), information literacy collection sources and use, and time of blindness. Statistical analysis

Participant flow

e. Participants were required to walk and live
independently using a white cane. The study design was a 5-year cohort study. The endpoint was "confidence in one's own health"
(none to yes).

Adverse events

No Finding

Outcome measures

The results showed that n=20 participants. There were 12 censored cases. The endpoint was reached by 8 participants, with a
reach rate of 40%. Among the outcomes, significant effects were the presence or absence of information literacy (p<.05) and the
effect of age (<75 years and above) (p<.15).
It indicates that there may be an age-related marginal point at which the cumulative effect comes to a head in supporting improved
information literacy in the effect of self-health building confidence in visually impaired people living in a mountainous area over
a 5-year period. Comprehensive health information literacy support that includes an age-related limit point appears to be important.
