Abstract:

There are almost 23 million people age 70 years and older in the United States. In 1993, this age group made up 8.8 percent of the total U.S. resident population, compared with 7.8 percent in 1983. From 1983 to 1993, this older segment of the population grew 2.5 times as fast as the total population. There were 15.6 million older licensed drivers in 1993-a 55 percent increase from the number in 1983. Older drivers made up 8.9 percent of all licensed drivers in 1993, compared with 6.5 percent in 1983. These older individuals made up 13 percent of all traffic fatalities, 12 percent of all vehicle occupant fatalities, and 18 percent of all pedestrian fatalities. Of the figures, Figure 1 shows driver involvement rates in fatal crashes by age and sex, 1993; and Figure 2 shows motor vehicle traffic fatality rates by age group, 1983-1993. Of the tables, Table 1 shows age and alcohol involved in fatal crashes and pedestrian accidents, 1993 and Table 2 shows involvement of the older population in traffic fatalities, 1983 and 1993.
