Older adults who cease driving are more likely to experience psychosomatic decline than those who continue driving. This mixed-methods study was intended to examine differences in psychosomatic functions depending on driving status and lifestyle activities, and factors affecting engagement in additional lifestyle activities after driving cessation. The quantitative analysis included individuals aged 60 and above. Driving status, lifestyle activities, and psychosomatic functions were assessed. For qualitative analysis, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the driving-cessation group to determine the factors affecting involvement in various lifestyle activities after driving cessation. Analysis of covariance was used for quantitative data, while text mining and qualitative inductive analysis were used for qualitative data. Older adults who engaged in more lifestyle activities walked faster than those who engaged in fewer lifestyle activities, even after driving cessation. Actively using local and personal resources may increase engagement in lifestyle activities after driving cessation.
