“…9,55 But, unlike our study and that of two others, 22,23 most studies have found an increased crash risk among demented drivers. [24][25][26][27][28] However, comparing the results of the different studies is difficult due to variability in study design, as well as the type and/or the severity of dementia examined. In our study, demented subjects who had ceased driving were more impaired (mean MMSE =20.7, SD=2.8) than those who continued driving (mean MMSE=25.2, SD=2.9).…”

“…With the exception of two studies, 22,23 most investigations have reported an increased crash risk among demented drivers. [24][25][26][27][28] If attentional and executive disorders are substantial in pathological aging, they also occur to a much lesser extent, in normal aging 29,30 and may disturb driving activity. 5,6 In this study, we analyze the factors associated with driving cessation, as well as those associated with self-reported crashes.…”

“…Coo per et al 23 found that 80% of demented drivers who were involved in a crash continued to drive, and one-third had at least one more crash. They found that, compared with other older drivers, those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were much more likely to be responsible for the crash, had more night crashes and had fewer of their crashes at inter sections.…”

“…Studies have shown that the driver with dementia is at increased risk to cause traffic accidents. [2][3][4][5] Friedland and coworkers found a 47% prevalence rate of crashes among 30 persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to 10% of 20 age-matched controls in a retrospective survey over 5 years. 6 Overall, there is probably a 2-to 8-fold greater risk of crashes for elderly drivers with mild to moderate dementia compared to those not demented.…”
