    Objetivo: identificar os fatores associados ao uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação por pessoas idosas de uma Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade. Métodos: estudo analítico, transversal, que contou com 102 participantes, de ambos os sexos. Os dados para caracterização do perfil socioeconômico e tecnológico dos idosos foram coletados via web, por meio de questionário autopreenchido. Resultados: os achados obtidos na presente pesquisa revelaram que há associação estatisticamente significante entre a frequência no ensino superior e o uso de notebook (p=0,021) e smart TV (p=0,031). Adicionalmente, foi observada associação entre a renda mensal familiar superior a quatro salários mínimos e o uso de tablet (p=0,026), smart TV (p=0,006) e impressora (p=0,002) pelos participantes da amostra. Conclusão: o grau de escolaridade e o nível socioeconômico configuraram-se como alguns fatores intervenientes na utilização de tecnologias pelos idosos matriculados em uma Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade. Contribuições para prática: o estudo disponibiliza informações sobre o perfil dos alunos idosos em relação aos principais fatores associados à utilização das tecnologias de informação. Com isso, poderão ser programadas e ofertadas atividades que possibilitem maior integração e motivação dessa população.

Results: the findings of the present study revealed the existence of a significant association between the frequency in higher education and the use of notebook (p=0.021) and smart TV (p=0.031). Additionally, the analysis observed an association between the monthly family income higher than four minimum wages and the use of tablet (p=0.026), smart TV (p=0.006) and printer (p=0.002) by the sample participants. Conclusion: education level and socioeconomic status were some intervening factors in the use of technologies by the older individuals enrolled in a University Open to Older People. Contributions to practice: the study provides information on the profile of older students regarding the main factors associated with the use of information technologies. With this, activities that enable greater integration and motivation of this population can be programmed and offered.
