Abstract

Driving enables older adults to maintain independence and community mobility. Driving plays a pivotal role in the ability to engage in activities, socialize, run errands, and access health care services; yet many people eventually stop driving. This study investigates factors that contribute to transitions from driver to non-driver (i.e., driving status) using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). Among participants aged 45-85 who reported driving at baseline (n = 30,901), 1.65 percent (n = 510) had stopped driving at follow-up (three years later). Logistic regression identified predictors of this transition, including older age, female sex, lower income, urban residence, poorer self-rated health, difficulties with activities of daily living, low memory scores, and vision problems. These findings highlight the interplay of physical, cognitive, and environmental factors in driving cessation. This research advances understanding of mobility transitions in later life and informs targeted strategies to support older adults as they plan for driving retirement.

影响驾驶员向非驾驶员转变的因素：来自加拿大老龄化纵向研究的证据（里昂证券）。

驾驶使老年人能够保持独立性和社区流动性。驾驶在参与活动、社交、跑腿和获得医疗保健服务的能力方面起着关键作用；然而，许多人最终不再开车。本研究使用来自加拿大老龄化纵向研究（CLSA）的数据，调查了促成从驾驶员到非驾驶员转变的因素（即驾驶状态）。在45-85岁的参与者中（n = 30,901）， 1.65% （n = 510）的人在随访（三年后）停止了驾驶。逻辑回归确定了这一转变的预测因素，包括年龄较大、女性、收入较低、居住在城市、自我评估健康状况较差、日常生活活动困难、记忆力评分较低和视力问题。这些发现强调了身体、认知和环境因素在戒烟过程中的相互作用。这项研究促进了对老年生活中流动性转变的理解，并告知有针对性的策略，以支持老年人计划驾驶退休。
