      abstract     = {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. The EuroQoL EQ-5D
                      questionnaire was used to assess HRQOL in this
                      study.Regression analysis showed that being a current driver
                      was associated with the absence of problems in 'self-care'
                      [OR 0.41 $(95\%-CI$ 0.17 to 0.98)], and 'usual activities'
                      [OR 0.48 (0.26 to 0.90)], whereas it was not significantly
                      associated with problems in 'pain/discomfort' [OR
                       0.82 (0.47 to 1.45)] and 'anxiety/depression' [OR
                       0.71 (0.36 to 1.39)]. Being a current driver was
                      marginally significantly associated with the absence of
                      problems in 'mobility' [OR 0.60 (0.34 to 1.06)]. While
                      being a current driver was not associated with the EQ-VAS in
                      the main model, it was positively associated with the
                      driving status (β = 5.00, p < .05) when functional
                      impairment was removed from the main model.Our findings
                      provide first evidence for an association between driving
                      status and HRQOL among the oldest old.Future longitudinal
                      studies are required to evaluate a possible causal
                      relationship between driving status and HRQOL in very old
                      individuals.},
