Older adults who cease driving are more likely to experience psychosomatic decline than those who continue driving. This mixed-methods study was intended to examine differences in psychosomatic functions depending on driving status and lifestyle activities, and factors affecting engagement in additional lifestyle activities after driving cessation. The quantitative analysis included individuals aged 60 and above. Driving status, lifestyle activities, and psychosomatic functions were assessed. For qualitative analysis, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the driving-cessation group to determine the factors affecting involvement in various lifestyle activities after driving cessation. Analysis of covariance was used for quantitative data, while text mining and qualitative inductive analysis were used for qualitative data. Older adults who engaged in more lifestyle activities walked faster than those who engaged in fewer lifestyle activities, even after driving cessation. Actively using local and personal resources may increase engagement in lifestyle activities after driving cessation.
停止开车的老年人比继续开车的老年人更容易出现身心衰退。这项混合方法研究旨在探讨根据驾驶状态和生活方式活动，身心功能的差异，以及影响停止驾驶后参与其他生活方式活动的因素。定量分析纳入了60岁及以上的个体。评估了驾驶状态、生活方式活动和身心功能。对于定性分析，对停止驾驶组进行了半结构化访谈，以确定影响停止驾驶后参与各种生活方式活动的因素。协方差分析用于定量数据，而文本挖掘和定性归纳分析用于定性数据。即使在停止驾驶后，参与更多生活方式活动的老年人比参与较少生活方式活动的老年人走得更快。积极利用当地和个人资源可能会增加停止驾驶后参与生活方式活动的程度。
