Association of changes in commute mode with body mass index and visceral adiposity: a longitudinal study
TLDR
Switching from inactive commuting mode to more physically active commuting mode and maintaining active commuting can promote body weight control among working adults across different levels of occupational or leisure-time physical activity.
Car use and cardiovascular disease risk: Systematic review and implications for transport research
Dependence between travel distance, individual socioeconomic and health-related characteristics, and the choice of the travel mode: a cross-sectional study for Kaunas, Lithuania
Cross-border mobility in European countries: associations between cross-border worker status and health outcomes
TLDR
A healthy cross-border phenomenon steming from a social selection and a positive association between income and the health index is confirmed; the existence of major health disparities among CBWs; and the rejection of the spillover phenomenon assumption for CBWs are suggested.
Time spent cycling, walking, running, standing and sedentary: a cross-sectional analysis of accelerometer-data from 1670 adults in the Copenhagen City Heart Study
TLDR
It is found that many adult Copenhageners spent much time sedentary, and population groups with low participation in physical activities such as cycling and walking should be targeted in future initiatives towards an active, healthy society.
Association of commuting mode with dyslipidemia and its components after accounting for air pollution in the working population of Beijing, China
TLDR
Walking, cycling and bus-riding commuting can reduce the risk for dyslipidemia and some of its components, and education on the prevention of dys Lipidemia should be emphasized among higher-risk people who usually commute by car or taxi.
Walking, cycling, and public transport for commuting and non-commuting travels across 5 European urban regions: Modal choice correlates and motivations
Physical activity of electric bicycle users compared to conventional bicycle users and non-cyclists: Insights based on health and transport data from an online survey in seven European cities
Physical activity and weight following car ownership in Beijing, China: quasi-experimental cross sectional study
TLDR
Data indicate that vehicle ownership in a rapidly growing global city led to long term reductions in physical activity and increase in weight, which could adversely affect physical health and obesity rates.

Associations between active commuting, body fat, and body mass index: population based, cross sectional study in the United Kingdom
TLDR
Men and women who commuted to work by active and public modes of transport had significantly lower BMI and percentage body fat than their counterparts who used private transport.

Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA): protocol for a multi-centre, longitudinal study
TLDR
The PASTA study will collect data of multiple cities in a longitudinal cohort design to study correlates of active mobility, its effect on overall physical activity, crash risk and exposure to traffic-related air pollution.

Impact of changes in mode of travel to work on changes in body mass index: evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
TLDR
Interventions to enable commuters to switch from private motor transport to more active modes of travel could contribute to reducing population mean BMI.
Time spent being sedentary and weight gain in healthy adults: reverse or bidirectional causality?
TLDR
BMI, FM, and WC may predict sedentary time, but the results do not suggest that Sedentary time predicts future obesity.
Walking and cycling to health: a comparative analysis of city, state, and international data.
TLDR
This analysis provides evidence of the population-level health benefits of active travel, and policies on transport, land-use, and urban development should be designed to encourage walking and cycling for daily travel.
