Problem-solving skills in the context of technologically complex modern societies have become increasingly important to health management in later life. Using data from the 2012/2014 Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), this study was designed to investigate the associations between problem-solving skills in technology-rich environments (PSTRE) and health, and to explore whether age differences exist.
