Active commuting has decreased substantially in recent decades and has been more frequent in specific demographic and socioeconomic profiles. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of active trips and the possible associations with demographic and socioeconomic variables.
A questionnaire on lifestyle and risk behavior was administered to a sample population of 5028 adolescents, ages 15 to 19 years, attending public high schools in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Logistic regressions (odds ratio--OR; 95% confidence interval) were used to test associations.
Active commuting to school was reported for 56.7% of students, and active commuting to work was reported for 70.0%. The likelihood of commuting passively was greater among girls (school: OR = 1.27; 1.10-1.45), older adolescents (school: OR = 1.17; 1.02-1.33; work: OR = 1.49; 1.22-1.82), those who lived in rural areas (school: OR = 12.1; 9.91-14.8), those who spent more time in commuting (school: OR = 2.33; 2.01-2.69; work: OR = 4.35; 3.52-5.38), and those from high-income families (school: OR = 1.40; 1.21-1.62; work: OR = 1.69; 1.37-2.08).
The proportion of students taking active trips was higher when going to work than to school. All indicators were associated with the mode of commuting, except gender and place of residence for commuting to work.
近几十年来，积极通勤大幅减少，且在特定人口统计学和社会经济特征中更为常见。本研究的目的是描述积极通勤的流行程度及其与人口统计学和社会经济变量的可能关联。
对巴西圣卡塔琳娜州公立高中的 5028 名 15 至 19 岁青少年进行了一项关于生活方式和风险行为的问卷调查。使用逻辑回归（比值比--OR；95%置信区间）来检验关联。
报告称有 56.7%的学生主动上学，70.0%的学生主动上班。女孩（上学：OR=1.27；1.10-1.45）、年龄较大的青少年（上学：OR=1.17；1.02-1.33；上班：OR=1.49；1.22-1.82）、居住在农村地区的青少年（上学：OR=12.1；9.91-14.8）、通勤时间较长的青少年（上学：OR=2.33；2.01-2.69；上班：OR=4.35；3.52-5.38）和高收入家庭的青少年（上学：OR=1.40；1.21-1.62；上班：OR=1.69；1.37-2.08）更有可能被动通勤。
与上学相比，学生上班时采取积极通勤方式的比例更高。除性别和上班地点外，所有指标都与通勤方式有关。
