To report prevalence of commuting to school in Norway with regard to season, gender, parental education level, ethnicity and distance to school.
Cross-sectional questionnaire data from the Fruits and Vegetables Make the Marks project collected in 2008, including 1339 ten to twelve-year-old children from 27 schools. The participants were categorized according to main mode of commuting to school in the three different school seasons (fall, winter and spring) and for the full school year if more than 50% of all trips were conducted by one specific mode.
Most pupils (75%) were categorized as active commuters for the full school year. However, large seasonal variances were observed, especially for cycling. A total of 52%, 3% and 51% were categorized as cyclists in fall, winter and spring, respectively. Girls were more likely to be walkers (32% vs. 24%) and less likely to be cyclist (32% vs. 41%) than boys. Children of parents with higher education were more likely to be cyclist in fall (57% vs. 42%) and spring (56% vs. 40%), however, they were more likely to be walkers during winter time (71% vs. 56%).
Most children reported that they were active commuters. Large seasonal variation was observed, especially regarding cycling.
报告挪威学生上下学交通方式在季节、性别、父母教育水平、种族和学校距离方面的流行情况。
2008 年,利用“水果和蔬菜成就未来”项目的横断面问卷调查数据,对来自 27 所学校的 1339 名 10-12 岁儿童进行研究。根据三种不同上学季节(秋季、冬季和春季)和全年(如果超过 50%的所有行程都是通过一种特定模式进行的)的主要上下学交通方式,对参与者进行分类。
大多数学生(75%)全年被归类为积极的步行者。然而,观察到了很大的季节性差异,特别是对于骑自行车的情况。在秋季、冬季和春季,分别有 52%、3%和 51%的学生被归类为骑自行车者。与男孩相比,女孩更有可能是步行者(32%比 24%),而不太可能是骑自行车者(32%比 41%)。父母受教育程度较高的儿童在秋季(57%比 42%)和春季(56%比 40%)更有可能骑自行车,但在冬季更有可能步行(71%比 56%)。
大多数儿童报告说他们是积极的步行者。观察到了很大的季节性差异,特别是对于骑自行车的情况。
