Commuters who cycle or walk to and from work or study may have lower risks of mental and physical ill health than those who don't rely on these options, finds a large long term study published in the open access journal BMJ Public Health.
BMJ GroupJul 17 2024 Commuters who cycle or walk to and from work or study may have lower risks of mental and physical ill health than those who don't rely on these options, finds a large long term study published in the open access journal BMJ Public Health .
In a bid to redress these shortcomings, the researchers drew on nationally representative data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study , which is based on 5% of the Scottish population derived from Census returns in 1991, 2001, and 2011. Various potentially influential factors were taken into consideration. These included age, sex, pre-existing health conditions, as well as socioeconomic factors and distance to work/study.
Similarly, cyclist commuters were more likely to be male, younger, shift workers and live in a city, and they were less likely to be homeowners or carers. But cyclist commuters were twice as likely as 'inactive' commuters to be admitted to hospital after a road traffic collision.
