There is little evidence about the relationships between transport interventions and quality of life in low-income settlements in Global South cities. The aim was to assess the effects of the TransMiCable cable car intervention on quality of life in males and females in a low-income settlement in Bogotá, Colombia.
The Urban Transformations and Health (TrUST) natural experiment was conducted between 2018 and 2020 in intervention and control neighbourhoods. Overall quality of life, general health, and specific domains of quality of life were assessed in adults before and after the implementation of the TransMiCable using the World Health Organization's quality of life brief questionnaire. Adjusted multilevel linear regression models were used to estimate the effects on outcomes.
Before the inauguration of TransMiCable, 2052 participants (1289 [62.8%] females and 763 [37.2%] males; mean age 43.5 years [SD 17.7]) completed the questionnaire. Analyses included 825 participants in the intervention group (80% of the baseline sample) and 854 participants in the control group (84% of the baseline sample) who completed the follow-up. Among females in the intervention area, there was an increase in quality of life (adjusted β for the time-by-group interaction, intervention control: 5.81 points [95% CI: 2.47, 9.14]), and general health (adjusted β for the time-by-group interaction: 5.49 points [2.07, 8.92). Among males, quality of life and general health changes were not different in the intervention and control groups.
Transport interventions, such as TransMiCable, could have meaningful impacts on the quality of life of women in low-income areas, promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals and improving well-being. A community-based, multisectoral approach is essential to designing integrated mobility policies that reflect the diverse needs of urban communities in the Global South.

关于全球南方城市低收入住区交通干预措施与生活质量之间的关系，几乎没有相关证据。目的是评估哥伦比亚波哥大一个低收入住区的TransMiCable缆车干预措施对男性和女性生活质量的影响。
2018年至2020年期间，在干预社区和对照社区开展了城市转型与健康（TrUST）自然实验。在实施TransMiCable之前和之后，使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表对成年人的总体生活质量、一般健康状况以及生活质量的特定领域进行了评估。采用调整后的多水平线性回归模型来估计对结果的影响。
在TransMiCable开通之前，2052名参与者（1289名[62.8%]女性和763名[37.2%]男性；平均年龄43.5岁[标准差17.7]）完成了问卷调查。分析纳入了干预组的825名参与者（占基线样本的80%）和对照组的854名参与者（占基线样本的84%），他们完成了随访。在干预区域的女性中，生活质量有所提高（时间×组间交互作用的调整β值，干预组与对照组相比：5.81分[95%置信区间：2.
