abstract = {The main objective of the current study was to analyze how parents’ sociodemographic
characteristics, mode of commuting and physical activity (PA) act as indicators of active
commuting to school (ACS) in their children and adolescents. A total of 684 paired
parents (52.8% mothers) and their respective offspring (33.7% girls) were included. The
participants self-reported their sociodemographic characteristics, mode of commuting,
and PA. Logistic regression analyses were performed using a stepwise approach,
including, as indicators, parental characteristics, mode of commuting and PA. The main
outcome was child and adolescent ACS. The odds ratio (OR) and R2 of Nagelkerke
were obtained for each step. Parental sociodemographic characteristics were greater
indicators of child ACS than the parental mode of commuting and PA. In children,
the greatest predictive variables of ACS explained 38% of the variance and were as
follows: car availability (OR = 0.24), father’s educational level (OR = 0.47), mother’s
educational level (OR = 1.95), mother’s active commuting to work (OR = 4.52) and
mother’s salary/month (OR = 0.67). In adolescents, the greatest predictive variables of
ACS explained 40%of the variance and were as follows: socioeconomic level (OR=0.43)
and father’s active commuting (OR = 10.6). In conclusion, sociodemographic factors are
better indicators of ACS than parents’ physical activity and active commuting to work.},
