Daily behaviours such as active commuting to school (ACS) could be a source of physical activity,
contributing to the improvement of youth cardiovascular health, however, the relationship between ACS and other
aspects of a youth’s health, such as sleep duration and breakfast consumption, require further clarification. The aims
of this study were therefore: 1) to analyse the prevalence of modes of commuting to school, sleep duration, and
breakfast consumption by age groups and gender, and 2) to analyse the association between ACS, sleep duration
recommendations, and breakfast consumption by age groups and gender. The percentage of students meeting sleep duration and daily breakfast recommendations was lowest in older
adolescents, and highest in children (6.3% versus 50.8% p < 0.001, and 62.1%, versus 76.8%, p = 0.001, respectively). Young
adolescents and girls who met the sleep duration recommendations were more likely to be active commuters than their
counterparts (OR = 4.25; 95% CI = 1.81 to 9.92, p = 0.001 and OR = 2.89; 95%CI = 1.01 to 8.27, p = 0.04, respectively). Young adolescents (13-15 yr) and girls who met the sleep duration recommendations during school days
displayed a positive association with ACS. There was no association between ACS and breakfast consumption for any of
the age groups or gender. Children (10-12 yr) were those that best meet with the adequate sleep duration and breakfast
consumption recommendations.
