Most Seniors Continue to Drive After Thinking Declines, Study Finds

Source: United Press International - Health NewsWhen older adults suffer from mental impairment, getting them to stop driving can be challenging. But those conversations are necessary, said researchers who found that a majority of such adults still get behind the wheel. The researchers studied this issue in a U.S. community with more than 600 adults over age 65 who had thinking and memory test scores suggesting mental impairment. Among these elders, more than 60% continued to drive.
