目标.我们估计总的预期寿命和驾驶寿命的美国司机年龄在70岁及以上。应用寿命表法对1993年和1995年调查的4699名老年人进行了再评估。70至74岁的司机的驾驶寿命约为11年。男性死亡率较高的风险，作为一个原因，驾驶停止抵消了较高的风险，驾驶停止不相关的死亡率在女性中，导致类似的驾驶寿命预期。全国范围每年都有很多年老的司机放弃驾驶，必须寻找其他交通工具。由于预期寿命的差异，女性需要更多年的交通支持。平均而言，超过70岁后的男性。
Objectives. We estimated total life expectancy and driving life expectancy of US drivers aged 70 years and older.Methods. Life table methods were applied to 4699 elderly persons who were driving in 1993 and reassessed in a 1995 survey.Results. Drivers aged 70 to 74 years had a driving life expectancy of approximately 11 years. A higher risk of mortality among men as a cause of driving cessation offset a higher risk of driving cessation not related to mortality among women that resulted in similar driving life expectancies.Conclusions. Nationwide. many elderly drivers quit driving each year and must seek alternative sources of transportation. Because of differences in life expectancy, women require more years of support for transportation. on average, than men after age 70.
