问题：本研究的目的是通过比较芬兰妇女在70岁时放弃或更新驾驶执照的驾驶历史，了解老年妇女停止驾驶的原因。方法：向所有1927年出生并在1997年放弃驾照的芬兰妇女（N = 1 476）和相应的更新驾照的随机抽样妇女（N = 1 494）发送了一份邮件调查。总有效率为42.1%。结果：个人驾驶史的长度和活动水平与停止驾驶和继续驾驶密切相关。前司机往往有一个不活跃的驾驶生涯背后，而司机有一个更积极的个人驾驶历史。此外，那些有着活跃的、“像男性一样”的驾驶历史的女性决定停止驾驶，他们给出的停止驾驶的原因与已知的老年男性放弃驾驶的原因相似。结果表明，停止驾驶的决定与驾驶习惯有关，而不是性别。(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: The purpose of this study is to understand the reasons behind older women's driving cessation by comparing the driving histories of Finnish women who either gave up or renewed their drivers license at the age of 70. Method: A mail survey was sent to all Finnish women born in 1927 who gave up their license in 1997 (N = 1,476) and to a corresponding random sample of women who renewed their license (N = 1,494). The total response rate was 42.1%. Results: The length and level of activity of personal driving history were strongly associated with driving cessation and continuation. Ex-drivers tended to have an inactive driving career behind them, whereas drivers had a more active personal driving history. In addition, those women with an active, "male-like" driving history who had decided to stop driving gave reasons for driving cessation that were similar to what is known about older men's reasons to give up driving. The results suggest that the decision to stop driving is related to driving habits rather than gender. (C) 2003 National Safety Council and Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
