abstract = {Introduction: Active commuting is considered as an opportunity to create a healthy habit in a
sustainable way, but different individual factors and modifiable behaviours may influence in their
choice. The aims of this study were to identify the clustering profile of individual non-modifiable
factors, and the clustering profile of individual modifiable behaviours, associated with active
commuting to university.
Methods: A total of 1012 students (53.6 % female) from an Andalusian university participated in
this study, and self-reported on a reliable questionnaire. For the analyses, two-step cluster
analysis and multinomial logistic regression were considered.
Results: The individual non-modifiable factors and the individual modifiable behaviours mostly
showed significant differences (p < .005) by the mode of commuting. Significant associations
were found between active commuting and two profiles of individual non-modifiable factors (OR:
0.33, 95 % Confidence Intervals [CI]:0.14, 0.76; OR: 1.96, 95 % CI:1.04, 3.80). No significant
associations were found between active commuting and profile of individual modifiable
behaviours.
Conclusion: individual non-modifiable factors could be more determinant in active transportation
choices than individual modifiable behaviours in Spanish university students.},
