Higher levels of sedentary behavior are associated with adverse health outcomes. Over-reliance on private motor vehicles for transportation is a potential contributor to the obesity epidemic. The objective of this study was to review evidence on the relationship between motor vehicle travel distance and time and weight status among adults.
Keywords associated with driving and weight status were entered into four databases (PubMed Medline Transportation Research Information Database and Web of Science) and retrieved article titles and abstracts screened for relevance. Relevant articles were assessed for their eligibility for inclusion in the review (English-language articles a sample ≥ 16 years of age included a measure of time or distance traveling in a motor vehicle and weight status and estimated the association between driving and weight status).
The database search yielded 2781 articles, from which 88 were deemed relevant and 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the 10 studies included in the review, 8 found a statistically significant positive association between time and distance traveled in a motor vehicle and weight status.
Multilevel interventions that make alternatives to driving private motor vehicles more convenient, such as walking and cycling, are needed to promote healthy weight in the adult population.
久坐行为水平较高与不良健康结果相关。过度依赖私人机动车出行是肥胖流行的一个潜在因素。本研究的目的是综述关于机动车行驶距离和时间与成年人肥胖状况之间关系的证据。
将与驾驶和肥胖状况相关的关键词输入四个数据库（PubMed、Medline、交通研究信息数据库和科学网），检索文章标题和摘要并筛选相关性。评估相关文章是否符合纳入综述的条件（英文文章、样本年龄≥16岁、包括机动车行驶时间或距离的测量以及肥胖状况，并估计驾驶与肥胖状况之间的关联）。
数据库检索得到2781篇文章，其中88篇被认为相关，10项研究符合纳入标准。在纳入综述的10项研究中，8项发现机动车行驶时间和距离与肥胖状况之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。
需要采取多层次干预措施，使步行和骑自行车等替代私人机动车驾驶的方式更加便捷，以促进成年人群的健康体重。
