“…In contrast, large studies in high-income countries in Europe and North America suggest that all-cause mortality risk is around 30% lower in exercisers than in non-exercisers 46. These differences in risk may be explained by the high amounts of non-exercise physical activity that are part of everyday life in many cities in Latin America4–6 8 9 and other low-income and middle-income regions 7. For example, if the non-exercise group was to take part in large amounts of walking for transport in Latin America, then the difference in risk between the exercise and non-exercise groups would not be as great as in high-income countries.…”

“…The promotion of physical activity is also thought to be beneficial to meeting 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3. Nonetheless, relatively little is known about the benefits of physical activity in low-income and middle-income countries in Latin America, where participation in large amounts of physical activity is a necessity, not a choice 3–8. Indeed, poverty, crime, informal work and the cost of car ownership make walking for transport inevitable 4–6.…”

“…We developed and calibrated an ABM which enabled a policy-oriented exploration of commuting patterns in an LMIC urban setting, characterized by high levels of necessity-based walking and inequality. Grounded in the unique context of Bogotá, Colombia, our systems approach to understanding and promoting physical activity in LMICs directly addresses recent calls within the field [ 14 , 54 ]. Moreover, while our model integrated factors normatively represented in transport-related decision-making models, such as spatial accessibility and the affordability of varying forms of transportation, our model uniquely attended to other system-level influences that feature within commuters’ decision-making process, such as personal safety from crime and peer influences.…”

“…In particular, walking for transport is part of everyday life in communities where there are low levels of income and high levels of informal work (9,10) (walking may be a light-intensity activity or a moderate-intensity activity, depending on age and fitness [11]). In the city of Bogotá in Colombia, for example, many people participate in more than 300 min of light-intensity physical activity per day (12) and spend more than 180 min traveling to and from work each day (13). To the best of our knowledge, there are no cohort studies about the longitudinal associations between physical activity and obesity in adults in Colombia or elsewhere in Latin America.…”
