Older adults driving in complex environments - think complicated traffic patterns, lane changes, turns, and congestion - have a much higher crash risk than the average driver. Older adults are also far more likely to die when involved in an automotive crash due to preexisting comorbidities. The risks associated with driving affect not only these older drivers, but everyone around them.
Through their participation in the DRIVES study, we also get information sampled every 30 seconds of their lat/lon coordinates and driving speed.
The presence of these plaques can be detected with appropriate PET radiotracers, isolated from cerebrospinal fluid, and - as of relatively recently - with blood.
