We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors affecting driving cessation in individuals with and without dementia aged under 65 years attending a memory clinic in a European setting. Methods: Subjects were consecutive patients assessed at a specialist memory service at a university teaching hospital between 2000 and 2010. The data collected included demographic, clinical, standardized cognitive assessments as well as information on driving. Dementia diagnosis was made using ICD-10 criteria. Results: Of the 225 people who were or had been drivers, 32/79 (41%) with young-onset dementia (YOD) stopped driving compared to 25/146 (17%) patients who had cognitive impairment due to other causes. Women were more likely to cease driving and voluntarily than men (p < 0.001). Diagnosis of YOD was associated with driving cessation (1.193, 95% CI 0.570–1.815, p ≤ 0.001), and was mediated by impairment in praxis with the highest indirect mediation effect (0.754, 95% CI 0.183–1.401, p = 0.009). Conclusions: YOD diagnosis, female gender, and impairment in praxis have a higher probability for driving cessation in those under 65 years of age with cognitive impairment. %I Karger Publishers
