: Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of driving cessation on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of older adults who do not have a driver’s license. Method: A cross-sectional study using a web-based questionnaire was conducted. Participants were 1,200 individ uals aged 65 years or older who did not have a driver’s license in Japan. Participants answered questions about their HRQOL (HUI3 and SF-8) and driving cessation using a self-administered questionnaire. Those who had surrendered their driver’s license were also asked about their HRQOL before driving cessation. Results: The HRQOL scores of the drivers who ceased driving were significantly lower than those of non-drivers. The HRQOL scores of the drivers who ceased driving were also significantly decreased—from -.816 to -.728 (< .001) for the HUI3 and from 51.5 to 49.5 (< .001) for the physical component summary of the SF-8—when comparing scores before and after driving cessation. The results of our multiple regression analysis showed that the number of years since driving cessation and incidence of major illness also affected HRQOL. Conclusion: There is a clear relationship between driving cessation and a decrease in HRQOL. This confirms the ne cessity of implementing measures in the future to address this issue, such as securing means of transportation for older people who have ceased driving.

: The purpose of this study was to examine the kinetics of the visual axis and pupil diameter during care-giver-assisted eating. The eating task was caregiver-assisted eating of twelve healthy volunteers. Visual axis position, spoon bowl motion, and pupil diameter were recorded using an eye tracker and a digital video camera. All participants indicated visual axis on a spoon or food during the motion of moving the spoon to the participant’s mouth in caregiv-er-assisted eating. Critical visual point (CVP) disappeared completely in all trials of all participants. The min-to-max and max-to-min pupil diameters, differences and changing were divided to three patterns for caregiver-assisted eating in all participants. Most patterns showed decrease of pupil diameter. These data suggest that the participant looked carefully at the food or the spoon using an accommodation reflex and a convergence reflex. Caregiver-assisted eating is natural in non CVP. A participant does not have somatosensory information during eating motion in caregiver-assisted eating. Positional information of a spoon is obtained only from visual information. We speculated that participant anxiety was stronger with caregiver-assisted eating than with unassisted eating. However, the causes of an increase and lack of change in pupil diameter remain unclear. Occupational therapists, who understands biological responses during eating motion, must teach a caregiver-assistant methods that are suitable for a participant.
