  Abstract: Objective/Significance To investigate and analyze the current status and influencing factors of digital health literacy（DHL） among the elderly, and provide reference for decision-making by relevant departments. Method/Process The eHEALS scale was used to investigate the DHL status of 419 people aged ≥60 in Shanghai through convenience sampling, and the influencing factors were explored through binary logistic regression analysis. Result/Conclusion Low education, smoking, and health anxiety are risk factors, while regular physical examinations are protective factors. Relevant departments should fully consider risk factors, focus on the elderly population with lower education , and strengthen research and education on health examinations, smoking hazards, and reducing anxiety.
