Driving Frequency Associated with Deficits in Lower Extremity Function, Dynamic Vision, and Physical Activity in Japanese Older Adults

Low frequency drivers showed lower levels of physical activity. Using a bicycle may help to increase physical activity in non-drivers. Encouraging bicycle use would be an effective approach after driving cessation.
