Neuropsychological Correlates of Changes in Driving Behavior Among Clinically Healthy Older Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the extent to which cognitive domain scores moderate change in driving behavior in cognitively healthy older adults using naturalistic (Global Positioning System-based) driving outcomes and to compare against self-reported outcomes using an established driving questionnaire.

Methods

We analyzed longitudinal naturalistic driving behavior from a sample (N = 161, 45% female, mean age = 74.7 years, mean education = 16.5 years) of cognitively healthy, nondemented older adults. Composite driving variables were formed that indexed "driving space" and "driving performance." All participants completed a baseline comprehensive cognitive assessment that measured multiple domains as well as an annual self-reported driving outcomes questionnaire.
