Table 5 Multiple linear regression analysis of factors influencing cognition

Variable	B	SE	β	t value	P value
Constant	44.713	3.864	-	11.571	< 0.001
Years of smartphone use	1.644	0.684	0.203	2.402	0.018
Prior use of health-related apps	-2.263	1.087	-0.176	-2.082	0.039
Age group	-1.271	0.761	-0.161	-1.670	0.098
Education level	0.917	0.653	0.135	1.404	0.163

Variable assignment: Prior use of health-related apps: Yes = 1, No = 2. Age group: < 45 = 1, 45-60 = 2, > 60 = 3. Education level: Primary school or below = 1, Junior high school = 2, Senior high school or secondary vocational = 3, College or above = 4. Years of smartphone use: < 3 = 1, 3-5 = 2, > 5 = 3. For the variable "prior use of health-related apps" (coded 1 = Yes, 2 = No), the negative β indicates that patients without prior app experience had lower cognitive scores than those with prior experience.
