Commute mode - physical activity and the possibility of change to active commuting among Japanese workers: a descriptive study by region

CONCLUSION: Nonactive commuters accounted for 41.4% of all commuters. The proportion of nonactive commuters who could change their commute mode among nonactive commuters was higher in urban regions. However, in rural regions, as the proportion of nonactive commuters was high, the proportion of nonactive commuters who could change their commute mode among total workers was also high. These results suggest that some of nonactive commuters can change their commute mode from nonactive to active commuting, in rural as well as in urban regions.PMID:38044134 | DOI:10.1539/sangyoeisei.2023-014-E
