PURPOSE
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relation between car use and the level of successful aging of a random sample of older adults living in the Mediterranean basin.
METHODS
During 2005-2011, 2749 older (aged 65-100 years) from 22 islands and the rural Mani region (Peloponnesus) of Greece were voluntarily enrolled in the Mediterranean islands cross-sectional study. Sociodemographics, medical conditions, and dietary and lifestyle habits were derived throughout standard procedures. Car use was recorded with a standard binary question. A successful aging index ranging from 0-10 was used.
RESULTS
Older adults who used a car on regular basis had significantly higher levels of successful aging, as well as less prevalence of obesity and hypertension while were more physically active (P < .001). After adjusting for several confounders car use was still positively related with elderly islander's successful aging level (beta coefficient [95% confidence interval]: 0.65 [0.54-0.77]).
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the activity of car use seems to be an indicator of quality of life among older adults, as measured through successful aging.
目的
本研究旨在评估地中海盆地地区老年人群随机样本中汽车使用情况与成功老龄化水平之间的关系。
方法
在2005年至2011年期间，来自希腊22个岛屿和农村马尼地区（伯罗奔尼撒半岛）的2749名老年人（年龄在65至100岁之间）自愿参加了地中海岛屿横断面研究。通过标准程序获取社会人口统计学、医疗状况以及饮食和生活方式习惯等信息。汽车使用情况通过一个标准的二元问题进行记录。采用范围从0到10的成功老龄化指数。
结果
经常使用汽车的老年人成功老龄化水平显著更高，肥胖和高血压患病率更低，身体活动更积极（P <.001）。在对多个混杂因素进行调整后，汽车使用情况仍与老年岛民的成功老龄化水平呈正相关（β系数[95%置信区间]：0.65[0.54 - 0.77]）。
结论
总之，通过成功老龄化衡量，汽车使用活动似乎是老年人生活质量的一个指标。
