11% of drivers aged 65+ report moderate to extreme driving anxiety, with associated reduction in driving. Knowledge about the relationships of driving anxiety with health and quality of life for older people is minimal. The present study examined these relationships.
1170 community dwelling drivers aged 65+ in New Zealand completed a population survey.
After adjusting for socio-demographic variables, higher driving anxiety was associated with lower quality of life and lower odds of 'very good' self-reported health, but no difference in odds of multi-comorbidity.
Further research is needed to examine the influence of driving anxiety on health and quality of life outcomes with a broader range of older people who experience more challenges to their health and wellbeing, especially to mental health.
65 岁以上的驾驶员中有 11%报告存在中度至重度驾驶焦虑，这与驾驶减少有关。对于老年人的驾驶焦虑与健康和生活质量的关系，我们知之甚少。本研究探讨了这些关系。
新西兰有 1170 名居住在社区的 65 岁以上驾驶员完成了一项人口调查。
在调整了社会人口统计学变量后，较高的驾驶焦虑与较低的生活质量和“非常好”自我报告健康状况的几率较低有关，但与多种合并症的几率没有差异。
需要进一步研究，以更广泛的健康和幸福感面临更多挑战的老年人为对象，研究驾驶焦虑对健康和生活质量结果的影响，特别是对心理健康的影响。
