Abstract：
BACKGROUND: It is of great practical significance to study the intrinsic relationship between cultural capital, digital divide, cognitive ability, and health of older adults in the dual social context of population aging and the digital era.
METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) initiated by the China Center for Social Science Surveys at Peking University. Physical health, mental health, and memory health were set as indicators of older adults, and the relationship between cultural capital, digital divide, cognitive ability, and health of older adults was examined by hierarchical regression with moderated mediated effect methods.
RESULTS: Improvement in the health of older adults is associated with an increase in the level of cultural capital; cultural capital may bridge the digital divide faced by older adults, which in turn promotes the improvement of the health of older adults; the higher the level of cognitive ability, the stronger the effect of cultural capital on the digital divide, and at the same time, the stronger the mediating effect of the digital divide; cultural capital has a more pronounced effect on the health of older male adults living in the city.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study show that cultural capital can have a positive impact on the health of older adults, but there is urban-rural heterogeneity and gender heterogeneity, in which the digital divide plays a mediating role, and the enhancement of the cognitive ability of older adults will be conducive to the improvement of their health, so the health of older adults should be promoted by improving the level of their cultural capital and the ability of older adults to use digital technology, thus provide references for the protection of health of older adults.

摘要：
背景：研究文化资本之间的内在关系具有重要的现实意义，数字鸿沟,认知能力,在人口老龄化和数字时代的双重社会背景下，老年人的健康。
方法：我们分析了北京大学中国社会科学调查中心发起的2020年中国家庭小组研究（CFPS）的数据。身体健康,心理健康,记忆健康被设定为老年人的指标，以及文化资本之间的关系，数字鸿沟,认知能力,和老年人的健康状况通过分层回归与适度介导效应方法进行检查。
结果：老年人健康的改善与文化资本水平的提高有关；文化资本可能弥合老年人面临的数字鸿沟，这反过来又促进了老年人健康的改善；认知能力水平越高，文化资本对数字鸿沟的影响越强，同时,数字鸿沟的中介作用越强；文化资本对居住在城市的老年男性的健康影响越明显。
结论：研究结果表明，文化资本可以对老年人的健康产生积极影响，但是存在城乡异质性和性别异质性，其中数字鸿沟起着中介作用，老年人认知能力的增强将有利于他们健康的改善，因此，应该通过提高老年人的文化资本水平和使用数字技术的能力来促进老年人的健康，从而为保护老年人的健康提供参考。
