| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dementia is an absolute disqualification item of the driver's license, but many dementias such as Alzheimer's disease often follow slowly progressive course, and there are also reports that there are differences in the content of traffic violations depending on the underlying disease. There are still unknown about the evaluation of driving aptitude. This time, through the temporary aptitude test of the driver's license, for patients with dementia and mild cognitive impairment who hold a car license, neuropsychological examination, brain statistical image analysis of head MRI, and psychophysiological research such as search exploratory eye movement and driving evaluation using a driving simulator were also conducted. As a result, It was suggested that there were decreases in simple response tests, select response tests, steering wheel operation, attention distribution, and multiple task tests during driving simulator in patients with dementia, compared with healthy elderly subjects.
