Abstract

Background: With the increasing use of smartphone-based lifestyle interventions, it is important to understand whether people’s preferred operating system (iOS or Android) is linked to their lifestyle habits. Purpose: Our goal was to determine whether the choice of an iOS- or Android-powered smartphone independently affected daily health habits. Methods: We recruited participants for an online survey using the CloudResearch® Connect™ platform. The survey collected basic sociodemographic data, information on the participant’s primary smartphone operating system, and the HLPCQ to estimate daily health habits. Results: Of the 195 participants, 54.4% identified as Android users. We found that iOS users tended to be younger, had higher estimated annual household incomes, and had higher levels of education. However, we found no statistically significant link between the operating system and the HLPCQ total score or any of its subscales. Instead, age, employment status, and estimated annual household income were found to be more strongly associated with daily health habits. Conclusion: This study did not find a significant association between the smartphone operating system and daily health habits as measured by the HLPCQ. The findings suggest that future smartphone-based lifestyle interventions should instead focus on established sociodemographic factors linked to lifestyle habits.

iPhone 和 Android 智能手机用户日常健康习惯比较调查

背景：随着基于智能手机的生活方式干预措施的使用越来越多，了解人们偏好的操作系统（iOS 或 Android）是否与他们的生活习惯有关非常重要。目的：我们的目标是确定选择 iOS 或 Android 系统的智能手机是否会独立影响日常健康习惯。调查方法我们使用 CloudResearch® Connect™ 平台招募参与者进行在线调查。调查收集了基本社会人口学数据、参与者的主要智能手机操作系统信息以及用于评估日常健康习惯的 HLPCQ。调查结果显示在 195 名参与者中，54.4% 为安卓用户。我们发现，iOS 用户往往更年轻、家庭年收入更高、受教育程度更高。然而，我们发现操作系统与 HLPCQ 总分或其任何分量表之间没有统计学意义上的显著联系。相反，我们发现年龄、就业状况和估计家庭年收入与日常健康习惯的关系更为密切。结论本研究没有发现智能手机操作系统与 HLPCQ 测定的日常健康习惯之间有明显的关联。研究结果表明，未来基于智能手机的生活方式干预应侧重于与生活习惯相关的既定社会人口因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
