大多数老年人依靠汽车来保持他们的流动性和独立性，尽管与年龄相关的行为和生物医学变化可能会使驾驶变得更加困难。 事实上，事故和死亡率在55岁以后开始上升。 因此，一个研究目标是确定区分安全驾驶的老年人与不安全驾驶的老年人的功能措施。 本文讨论了解决这个问题所涉及的概念和方法问题，认为为什么早期的研究在很大程度上是不成功的，提出了一个工作模型来处理这个问题，并认为需要在这方面进行大样本，前瞻性的研究。
Most older adults rely on the automobile to maintain their mobility and independence, in spite of the fact that age-related behavioral and biomedical changes may make driving more difficult. Indeed, accident and fatality rates begin to rise after age 55. One research goal, therefore, is to identify functional measures that differentiate older adults who drive safely from those who do not. This paper discusses conceptual and methodological issues involved in addressing this question, considers why earlier research has been largely unsuccessful, presents a working model for approaching the problem, and argues the need for large-sample, prospective research in this area.
