> Specifically, those with preclinical Alzheimer's tended to drive more slowly, make abrupt changes, travel less at night, and logged fewer miles overall, for example. They also visited a smaller variety of destinations when driving, sticking to slightly more confined routes.
Aside from the abrupt changes this could describe my driving habits. I hate driving, driving at night most of all.
- tines 5y agoI have some bad news for you buddy
- jsight 5y agoI was thinking that these changes weren't described in specific enough detail too. I mean, these could also be used to guess age in general, if I'm reading it right.
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoYeah, what if I learned to drive late in my life and am simply not confident enough? Or maybe I take speed limits seriously?
- Finnucane 5y agoPresumably there is some presumption that everyone in the study has more or less the same driving needs. Possibly for a small area in MO, that might be true, or at least close enough. I mean, I don't drive much either, but I live in a place where I don't have to. I don't need the car to get to work or do most of my ordinary errands. Now, if they want to track my bike, they might get more data.
- xeromal 5y agoMy take from the article is that the deviation happens over time from your preexisting baseline. So it's not your current habits, its that tracking your habits over time will show a difference.
