[Transport medical aspects of comprehensive medical care of ageing citizens (author's transl)].
The transport medical aspects in providing comprehensive care for ageing citizens are discussed from the point of view of a maximum degree of integration of aged and ageing people under the socialist conditions prevailing in our country. In this connection the conditions and services to be provided by society are mentioned and the norms of behaviour in public passenger and road traffic to be observed in ageing people owing to their diminishing performance are discussed. Suggestions are put forward as to how the traffic environment can be adapted to the diminished performance of old people. Apart from this, geromedically relevant passages of the guidelines for medical and psychological examination and evaluation of vehicle operators are elucidated (Verfüngungen und Mitteilungen des Ministeriums für Gesundheitswesen, No. 18, 1973, from 19, Nov. 1973).
