Association Between Active Commuting and Cardiometabolic Diseases in Primary Health Care Users

“…The prevalence of active commuting in our sample (34.5%) was lower than in studies conducted abroad, although differences in the population and economic development between countries should be taken into consideration. [19][20] On a national level, the prevalence of active commuting was similar to other studies in Paraíba (29.9% men and 18.5% women) and Rio Grande do Sul (26.5% general prevalence). [21][22] Regarding the demographic factors associated with commuting type, individuals living without a partner tend to be more active than those who are married or living with a partner.…”

Impacts of COVID-19 lockdown on time allocation for sedentary and physical activities – The context of Indian university students

“…A series of one-way ANOVA has been performed to understand the impacts of travel mode on the university on time-use decisions ( Nieuwenhuijsen and Khreis, 2020 ; Waddell et al, 2019 ). The time spent in each sub-activities under each primary activity has been aggregated for the ANOVA analysis due to the limited sample size (n = 203).…”

The trends in time spent on physical activities across the three groups indicate that active mode users spend the highest time, followed by public mode users ( Waddell et al, 2019 ). Although the trends are similar before and during the lockdown times, the mean time difference was significant only for the before lockdown scenario.…”

How the Covid-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the issue of active mobility and co-benefits in Latin American cities

“…In São Paulo (Brazil), the more educated are more likely to walk, 45 while in Chile, the prevalence of active commuting is associated with lower socioeconomic status and lower physical activity. 46 Urban design and transportation infrastructure can also have as substantial an impact on commute mode choice as household income. A study of the 100 largest urban areas in Mexico showed that people in denser urban areas with jobs concentrated there were less likely to drive; the same applies to cities with more public transportation options.…”
