abstract = {Background: Independent mobility (IM) provides young people with many opportunities to increase their autonomy
and physical activity (PA). This study aimed to analyse whether the parent’s PA, active commuting to work and
sociodemographic factors serve as predictors of IM to school in children and adolescents.
Methods: A total of 684 parents (52.8% mothers) and their offspring (56.4% girls) were included in this study, which
was performed in Granada (Spain) and Valparaíso (Chile). The parents self-reported their sociodemographic characteristics,
PA and mode of commuting to work. The mode of commuting to and from school and the offspring accompaniment
mode were reported. T-test and chi-square test were used to study quantitative and qualitative differences by
parental gender, respectively. Binary logistic regression models (odds ratio = OR) and stepwise analysis were performed
to study the association between the parents’ sociodemographic variables and IM to school.
Results: Adolescents showed higher IM to school than children (58.9% vs 40.2%; p < 0.001). No car availability and
shorter distance to work were positively associated with higher IM to school in children (OR = 2.22 and 2.29, respectively).
Mothers’ lower salary/month (OR = 2.75), no car availability (OR = 3.17), and mother passive commuting to
work (OR = 2.61) were positively associated with higher IM to school in adolescents. The main predictor of IM to
school in children and adolescents was no car availability (OR = 6.53).
Conclusion: Parental sociodemographic factors, such as salary, distance to work and car availability, were associated
more strongly with IM than parental PA and active commuting to work.},
