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.},
