To study the association between commuter cycling and all-cause sickness absence, and the possible dose-response relationship between absenteeism and the distance, frequency and speed of commuter cycling.
Cross-sectional data about cycling in 1236 Dutch employees were collected using a self-report questionnaire. Company absenteeism records were checked over a one-year period (May 2007-April 2008). Propensity scores were used to make groups comparable and to adjust for confounders. Zero-inflated Poisson models were used to assess differences in absenteeism between cyclists and non-cyclists.
The mean total duration of absenteeism over the study year was more than 1 day shorter in cyclists than in non-cyclists. This can be explained by the higher proportion of people with no absenteeism in the cycling group. A dose-response relationship was observed between the speed and distance of cycling and absenteeism. Compared to people who cycle a short distance (<or=5 km) three times a week, people who cycle more often and longer distances are absent for fewer days on average.
Cycling to work is associated with less sickness absence. The more often people cycle to work and the longer the distance travelled, the less they report sick.
研究通勤骑车与全因病假缺勤之间的关联，以及旷工与通勤骑车的距离、频率和速度之间可能存在的剂量反应关系。
使用自我报告问卷收集了 1236 名荷兰员工的骑车情况的横断面数据。在一年的时间里（2007 年 5 月至 2008 年 4 月）检查了公司的缺勤记录。采用倾向评分使组间具有可比性，并调整混杂因素。使用零膨胀泊松模型评估骑车者和非骑车者之间的旷工差异。
在研究年度内，骑车者的总缺勤时间比非骑车者平均少 1 天以上。这可以解释为骑车组中没有旷工的人比例更高。骑车的速度和距离与旷工之间存在剂量反应关系。与每周短距离（<=5 公里）骑行三次的人相比，经常骑车且距离更长的人平均缺勤天数更少。
骑车上班与病假缺勤较少有关。人们骑车上班的频率越高，行驶的距离越长，报告的病假就越少。
