A comparison of seat belt fit and comfort experience between older adults and younger front seat passengers in cars.

Conclusions: The change in body posture due to aging influences belt fit. Older adults seemed less aware of safety related to belt fit. Increased BMI influenced shoulder belt fit, independent of age. These findings are important when designing restraint systems to ensure safety for all occupants. PMID: 31411924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
