%X It is almost unknown whether the driving status is associated with HRQOL among individuals in highest age.Based on a multicenter prospective cohort study, the objective of this study was to examine whether the driving status is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among the oldest old in Germany.Cross-sectional data from follow-up wave 9 (n = 544) were derived from the 'Study on Needs, health service use, costs and health-related quality of life in a large sample of oldest-old primary care patients (85+)' (AgeQualiDe). Average age was 90.3 years (± 2.7; 86 to 101 years). The current driver status (no; yes) was used in our analysis.
