Abstract
ABSTRACT There is a lack of research on whether participating in productive aging (PA) activities affects driving among older adults and each PA activity’s independent effect on driving. This study aims to assess how PA activities affect driving frequency using the social ecological model. Ordinal regression was used to analyze data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (n = 4655). We examined whether participation in PA activities and perceived importance of PA activity participation were related to driving frequency. Higher driving frequency was observed among older adults who worked for pay, provided care, visited friends and family, went out for enjoyment, and had higher perceived importance of PA activity participation. Alternative transportation services and programs could be implemented to ensure safety, mobility, and PA participation as the population continues to age.
期刊介绍：
Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
