Health benefits of pedestrian and cyclist commuting.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuReviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMJul 17 2024 In a recent study published in the BMJ Public Health , researchers separately examined the prospective associations between active commuting and multiple health outcomes over 18 years for pedestrians and cyclists.
Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of active commuting on a wider range of health outcomes and to understand the underlying mechanisms. Anonymized data were used, so patient and public involvement was not applicable. The exposure variable was derived from Census responses about usual travel mode to work or study, with active travel defined as walking or cycling. Covariates included age, sex, pre-existing health conditions, socioeconomic factors, and other potential confounders.
A total of 52,804 participants had a hospital admission; of these, 9,663 were for CVD, 5,939 were for cancer, and 2,668 were due to traffic collisions. Cyclist commuters, compared to non-active commuters, were more likely to be younger, male, shift workers, and city dwellers and were less likely to be homeowners or carers.
