Health impact assessment of active transportation: A systematic review
Natalie Mueller,David Rojas-Rueda,Tom Cole-Hunter,Audrey de Nazelle,Evi Dons,Regine Gerike,Thomas Götschi,Luc Int Panis,Sonja Kahlmeier,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen +9 more
TL;DR: Effects of increased PA contributed the most to estimated health benefits, which strongly outweighed detrimental effects of traffic incidents and air pollution exposure on health, irrespective of geographical context.

TL;DR: Evaluating impacts of active travel policies is highly complex; however, many associations can be quantified, and identifying health-maximizing policies and conditions requires integrated HIAs.

Health effects of the London bicycle sharing system: health impact modelling study
TL;DR: London’s bicycle sharing system has positive health impacts overall, but these benefits are clearer for men than for women and for older users than for younger users and the potential benefits may not currently apply to all groups in all settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of shift from car to active transport
Ari Rabl,Audrey de Nazelle +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an estimate of the health impacts due to a shift from car to bicycle or walking, by evaluating four effects: the change in exposure to ambient air pollution for the individuals who change their transportation mode, their health benefit, the health benefit for the general population due to reduced pollution and the risk of accidents.

A review of land-use regression models to assess spatial variation of outdoor air pollution
Gerard Hoek,Rob Beelen,Kees de Hoogh,Danielle Vienneau,John S. Gulliver,Paul Fischer,David J. Briggs +6 more
TL;DR: Land-use regression (LUR) models have been increasingly used in the past few years to assess the health effects of long-term average exposure to outdoor air pollution as mentioned in this paper.

All-cause mortality associated with physical activity during leisure time, work, sports, and cycling to work
TL;DR: Leisure time physical activity was inversely associated with all-cause mortality in both men and women in all age groups, and benefit was found from moderate leisure timephysical activity, with further benefit from sports activity and bicycling as transportation.
