Is car use related with successful aging of older adults ? Results from the multinational Mediterranean islands study

Purpose: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relation between car use and the level of successful aging of a random sample of older adults living in the Mediterranean basin.

Methods: During 2005-2011, 2749 older (aged 65-100 years) from 22 islands and the rural Mani region (Peloponnesus) of Greece were voluntarily enrolled in the Mediterranean islands cross-sectional study. Sociodemographics, medical conditions, and dietary and lifestyle habits were derived throughout standard procedures. Car use was recorded with a standard binary question. A successful aging index ranging from 0-10 was used. Results: Older adults who used a car on regular basis had significantly higher levels of successful aging, as well as less prevalence of obesity and hypertension while were more physically active (P <.001). After adjusting for several confounders car use was still positively related with elderly islander's successful aging level (beta coefficient [95% confidence interval]: 0.65 [0.54-0.77]). Conclusions: In conclusion, the activity of car use seems to be an indicator of quality of life among older adults, as measured through successful aging.Elsevier20242024-07-1120172017-03-0120172017-03-01research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1SMURhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_71e4c1898caa6e32info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/20485reponame:Repisaludinstname:Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repisalud.isciii.es:20.500.12105/204852026-06-12T12:43:37Z
