| Research Abstract |
The car has an important impact on the daily life of the elderly and their social activities and participation. However, physical depression caused by aging is also a cause of traffic accidents and they will all have to cease driving one day. The first aim is to establish the relationship between mild cognitive impairment and driving ability. Moreover, the second aim is to establish a life model all over Japan's future after driving cessation by case studies.
