| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to understand driving skill and psychological property among older drivers with cognitive impairments and to examine whether they are associated with traffic accident, infraction and near miss accident. There was little difference between older drivers with cognitive impairments and healthy for self-evaluation driving skill and psychological property. But, older drivers with cognitive impairments had high proportion of those who cause traffic accident in the future. These results indicated that older drivers with cognitive impairments are crucial to prevent, decrease traffic accident.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究より、MCI高齢運転者は健常高齢運転者より将来的に交通事故を起こす可能性が高いことが示唆された。交通事故を少なくするために運転免許証を返納するという方法がある一方で、運転中止は心身の機能の低下に少なからず影響をもたらすことが報告されている。本研究を基礎研究としMCI高齢運転者についてさらなる知見を深めることが、今後の高齢化に伴い増えると考えられているMCI高齢運転者の安全に運転できる期間の延長、それに伴う自立した社会生活の維持につながると考える。
