Active travel to work in New South Wales 2005-2010, individual characteristics and association with body mass index.

Conclusions: There has been no overall increase in active commuting in NSW (2005-2010). Better efforts to communicate the benefits of active travel and less sedentary travel are warranted, in particular among those with lower levels of education. Implications: More interventions are needed to encourage walking and cycling to work, in order to gain significant benefits in terms of maintaining a healthy weight.
