方法：从AVENA研究中收集年龄在13-18.5岁的青少年2183人（女性1142人）。上学的交通方式和时间由青少年自行报告。父母的教育水平（小学、中学或大学学位）、父母的专业水平（管理、技术工人或非技术工人/失业）和学校类型（公立或私立）由父母自行报告。采用二元logistic回归分析ACS与社会经济因素的关系。结果：近65%的青少年报告了ACS，其中83%的人上学花费的时间小于15分钟。在男性青少年中，与拥有大学学历的母亲相比，母亲初等教育程度的比值比（OR）为1.55（95%可信区间为1.12-2.15）。在女性青少年中，初等教育水平的母亲与大学学历的母亲的OR为0.68（0.50-0.92）。专业水平低的产妇与专业水平高的产妇相比，OR值为1.70（1.29-2.24）。与私立学校学生相比，公立学校学生的OR为3.47（2.46-4.90）。结论：大多数青少年积极通勤上学，但通勤时间较低。社会经济水平似乎与青少年ACS呈负相关。学校类型和母亲受教育程度是ACS的主要预测因素。
Methods: From the AVENA Study, 2183 adolescents (1142 females) aged 13-18.5 years were gathered. Mode and time of transportation to school were self-reported by the adolescents. Parental education level (primary, secondary or university degree), parental professional level (managerial, skilled worker or unskilled worker/unemployed) and the type of school (public or private) were self-reported by the parents. The relationships between ACS and socio-economic factors were analysed by binary logistic regression.Results: Nearly < 65% of the adolescents reported ACS and 83% of them spent < 15 min travelling to school. In male adolescents, maternal primary education level showed an odds ratio (OR) of 1.55 (95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.15), with respect to mothers with a university degree. In female adolescents, mothers with a primary education level showed an OR of 0.68 (0.50-0.92), with respect to mothers with a university degree. Low maternal professional level showed an OR of 1.70 (1.29-2.24), with respect to high maternal professional levels. Students attending public schools showed an OR of 3.47 (2.46-4.90), with respect to students from private schools.Conclusion: Most of the adolescents actively commuted to school, yet the time spent commuting was low. Socio-economic level seems to be inversely related to the ACS in adolescents. Type of school and maternal educational level were the main predictors of ACS.
