Previous studies have identified that environmental awareness correlates with the choice of bicycle travel. However, few studies have considered the relationships with different types of healthy behaviors and environmental behaviors. This study examined the relationships between several healthy and environmental behaviors and the choice of bicycle commute using survey data. A total of 803 residents participated in this questionnaire survey. Using factor analysis, we constructed latent factors of healthy behaviors and environmental behaviors. Using a binary logistic regression model, we examined the relationship between latent factors and cycling usage, controlling for demographic characteristics. Factor analysis revealed three latent factors of healthy behaviors: "healthy diet", "avoiding tobacco or overdrinking", and "physical activity". The latent factors of environmental behaviors were as follows: "household behavior" and "purchasing behavior". The results showed that "avoiding tobacco or overdrinking", "physical activity" and "purchasing behavior" correlated positively with bicycle commuting. Differences were also observed in relation to demographic characteristics.
先前的研究已经表明，环境意识与自行车出行的选择有关。然而，很少有研究考虑过与不同类型的健康行为和环境行为的关系。本研究使用调查数据检验了几种健康和环境行为与自行车通勤选择之间的关系。共有 803 名居民参与了这项问卷调查。使用因子分析，我们构建了健康行为和环境行为的潜在因素。使用二元逻辑回归模型，我们在控制人口统计学特征的情况下，检验了潜在因素与自行车使用之间的关系。因子分析揭示了健康行为的三个潜在因素：“健康饮食”、“避免吸烟或酗酒”和“体育活动”。环境行为的潜在因素如下：“家庭行为”和“购买行为”。结果表明，“避免吸烟或酗酒”、“体育活动”和“购买行为”与自行车通勤呈正相关。此外，还观察到了与人口统计学特征有关的差异。
