Objective:
The study aimed to examine predictors of driving cessation in older adults and their respective contributions.
Methods:
This study included 2589 individuals aged ≥65 years from the 2020 National Survey of the Elderly. We adopted 24 potential predictors of driving cessation based on a comprehensive mobility framework. We used stepwise logistic regression to select explanatory variables and applied dominance analysis to investigate their contribution to driving cessation.
Results:
Thirteen variables, encompassing all domains of the framework, were identified as significant predictors of driving cessation through stepwise regression analysis. Notably, accessibility to hospitals emerged as a importance factor among older adults aged ≥75 years, ranking among the top 5. Environmental factors played an important role in driving cessation, particularly among those aged ≥75 years, with >10 % of explained variance for driving cessation.
Conclusions:
Guaranteed non-driving transportation options can encourage self-regulation of driving behavior while preserving mobility.
