问题：到2030年，美国将有大约7000万老年人（65岁以上），是2000年的两倍多。这一增长也反映了年龄较大的持牌司机比例的增加。因此，重要的是要了解他们如何可能参与交通事故的特殊情况。方法：这项研究使用了死亡分析报告系统（法尔斯），这是一个人口普查的所有致命的碰撞发生在美国在过去的二十年中，由国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA），研究的特殊特征，致命的碰撞涉及女性年龄超过70岁。结果如下：结果表明，在“最安全”条件下发生的撞车事故中，老年妇女所占比例过高，如在限速较低的道路上、白天、交通量较低（而不是在高峰时间）、天气良好和道路干燥时。(C)2003年国家安全理事会和爱思唯尔科学有限公司保留所有权利。
Problem: By 2030, there will be approximately 70 million older people (65+) in the United States, more than twice their number in 2000. This increase also represents an increased percentage of older licensed drivers. Thus, it is important to understand the special circumstances of how they may be involved in traffic crashes. Method: This study used the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which is a census of all fatal crashes occurring in the United States over the last two decades maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to study the special characteristics of fatal crashes involving females older than 70 years. Results: The results indicate that senior women are overrepresented in crashes that occur under the "safest" conditions, on roads with low speed limits, in daylight, when traffic is low (not at rush hour), when the weather is good, and when the roads are dry.
