The purpose of this objective is to increase the level of physical activity among children. However, the impact of walking, bicycling or skating (active commuting) to and from school on the prevalence of overweight is unknown.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Body mass index (BMI) was measured for 320 children (age 10.2\u2003\u00b1\u20030.7\u2003years) in September. Over 5\u2003months, an active commuting index (SI) and daily physical activity were estimated via questionnaire. In April, BMI and body fat were measured.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> A significant positive association was found between April BMI and SI adjusting for September BMI (partial <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.03, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05).

Future research is needed to objectively measure the impact of active commuting on the prevalence of overweight.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2005.00513.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,11]],"date-time":"2005-04-11T15:18:00Z","timestamp":1113232680000},"page":"341-349","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":117,"title":["Active commuting to and from school and BMI in elementary school children \u2013 preliminary data"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"K.
