Naturalistic Driving Outcomes and Sensorimotor Function in Cognitively Normal Older Adults

Key Points

• The study aims to examine the relationship between sensorimotor impairment and driving outcomes in cognitively normal older adults.
• Analyzed driving performance data from cognitively normal older adults.
• Assessed sensorimotor function using a composite index.
• Identified risk factors for declining mobility in older drivers.
• Greater sensorimotor impairment correlates with accelerated decline in driving ability.
• The composite sensorimotor index effectively identifies at-risk older drivers.
• Interventions may help prolong safe driving for this population.
