abstract="The authors of this paper examined associations of functional impairments with vehicle crashes using telephone interviews of 244 elderly at-fault crash-involved Mobile County, Alabama, drivers and 475 crash-free controls, frequency matched on age and gender. Police-investigated crash reports filed in 1996 were obtained from the Alabama Dept. of Public Safety. After controlling for potential confounding, reported difficulty walking 1/2 a mile or more (0.80 km), moving outdoors, and increasing numbers of activity limitations were associated with crash involvement. A 50% increased odds of crashing was observed for subjects reporting prior falls.<p />",
