Senior citizens are the fastest growing demographic in world. Amid an intensification of digitalisation across every sector, evidence suggests older people slow to adopt and use many online tools services. Moreover, despite studies showing differences behaviour compared rest population, established models specifically dedicated explaining their have remained limited. Therefore, based on components UTAUT, we propose a new conceptual model that focuses senior citizens. We introduce four constructs: health needs, place settlement (rural/urban), perceived trust, risk. Data were collected from 320 seniors Russia structural equation modelling was used for data analysis. With cumulative variance 86%, test validation results demonstrate our proposed provides better explanation people’s shopping than original UTAUT model. This important framework future digital behaviours seniors.

Online fraud threatens the well-being of older adults, with disparities in digital literacy and socioeconomic conditions amplifying their vulnerability. This study examined victimization behavior among adults urban rural settings, identifying key factors influencing its consequences. cross-sectional analytical study, using multi-stage sampling, included 864 participants from Southern Thailand. The findings revealed that 46.3% had adequate literacy, while 75.3% experienced victimization, higher rates health impacts areas. Higher age (Adjusted Odds Ratios; AOR: 1.83, p = 0.004), income (AOR: 2.28, 0.003), residence 3.03, < 0.001) were significantly associated an increased likelihood fraudulent victimization. Conversely, being non-Buddhist 0.47, having 0.50, protective factors. Fraud affected adults’ health, 29.5% reporting following adverse outcomes: physical 5.55), emotional 7.80), social 4.97), overall heightened risks 7.71, 0.001). research highlights importance improving fostering community awareness, implementing tailored fraud-prevention strategies to protect adults. provides a foundation for evidence-based policies aimed at mitigating enhancing era.
