Abstract

Older adults aged 70 and older who drive have higher crash death rates per mile driven compared to middle aged (35-54 years) adults who drive in the US. Prior studies have found that depression and or antidepressant medication use in older adults are associated with an increase in the vehicular crash rate. Using data from the prospective multi-site AAA Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers Study, this analysis examined the independent and interdependent associations of self-reported depression and antidepressant use with driving behaviors that can increase motor vehicle crash risk such as hard braking, speeding, and night-time driving in adults over age 65. Of the 2951 participants, 6.4% reported having depression and 21.9% were on an antidepressant medication. Correcting for age, race, gender, and education level, participants on an antidepressant had increased hard braking events (1.22 [1.10-1.34]) but self-reported depression alone was not associated with changes in driving behaviors.

抑郁症和抗抑郁药的使用与老年人驾驶行为的关系：LongROAD 研究

在美国，与中年人（35-54 岁）相比，70 岁及以上开车的老年人每行驶一英里的车祸死亡率更高。先前的研究发现，老年人患抑郁症或服用抗抑郁药物与车祸率上升有关。本分析利用美国汽车协会老龄驾驶员纵向研究的前瞻性多站点数据，研究了65岁以上成年人自我报告的抑郁症和抗抑郁药的使用与驾驶行为的独立和相互依存关系，这些行为可能会增加机动车碰撞风险，如急刹车、超速和夜间驾驶。在 2951 名参与者中，6.4% 报告患有抑郁症，21.9% 正在服用抗抑郁药物。在对年龄、种族、性别和教育水平进行校正后，服用抗抑郁药物的参与者的急刹车事件增加（1.22 [1.10-1.34]），但仅凭自我报告的抑郁症与驾驶行为的变化无关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
