Why cycle to work
Cycling to work „can cut risk of heart disease and cancer by a quarter”
Vožnja biciklom do posla „može da smanji rizik od srčanih bolesti i raka za četvrtinu“
A major study tracking more than 300,000 commuters has revealed that cycling to work can cut the risk of dying early from illnesses such as heart disease and cancer by up to 24 percent.
Velika studija koja je pratila više od 300.000 ljudi koji putuju na posao otkrila je da vožnja biciklom do posla može smanjiti rizik od ranog umiranja od bolesti kao što su bolesti srca i rak do 24 procenta.
Dr Richard Patterson from the Epidemiology Institute at the University of Cambridge, who led the research, hailed post-lockdown plans to dramatically increase numbers of cycle lanes and walking routes into city centers.
Dr Ričard Paterson iz instituta za epidemiologiju na Univerzitetu u Kembridžu, koji je vodio istraživanje, pozdravio je planove posle izolacije za veliko povećanje broja biciklističkih staza i pešačkih staza u centrima gradova.
He said the study demonstrates a large increase in active commutes – like cycling and walking – would have significant positive health impacts nationwide.
On je rekao da studija pokazuje da bi veliki porast aktivnih putovanja na posao – kao biciklizam i hodanje – imao značajan pozitivan uticaj na zdravlje širom zemlje.
The report was published, and the results were really interesting.
Izveštaj je objavljen, a rezultati su bili zaista zanimljivi.
It found that those who cycled to work had an overall 20 percent reduced rate of early death during the period, compared with drivers.
Utvrđeno je da su oni koji su vozili biciklu na posao imali ukupno 20 posto smanjenu stopu rane smrti tokom tog perioda u poređenju sa vozačima.
They saw a 24 percent reduced rate of death from cardiovascular disease – which includes heart attack and stroke – a 16 percent reduced rate of death from cancer, and an 11 percent reduced rate of a cancer diagnosis.
Videli su 24 posto smanjenu stopu smrti od kardiovaskularnih bolesti – što uključuje srčani uda i moždani udar – 16 posto smanjenu stopu smrti od raka i 11 posto smanjenu stopu dijagnoze raka.
Walking to work showed a less significant impact than cycling, but walking commuters studied still experienced a seven percent lower rate of cancer diagnosis compared to the people who drive.
Hodanje do posla pokazalo je manje značajan uticaj od vožnje bicikla, ali ispitanici koji putuju na posao i dalje su imali sedam posto nižu stopu dijagnoze raka u poređenju sa ljudima koji voze.
It also showed even taking the train rather driving lowers the risk of early death by 10 percent.
Takođe je pokazalo da čak i vožnja vozom, smanjuje rizik od rane smrti za 10 procenata.
Authors said the health benefits to commuting by train were not due to the number of accidents on the road, but were likely because people have to walk to and from train station.
Autori kažu da zdravstvene koristi od putovanja vozom nisu posledica broja nesreća na putu, već su verovatno zato što ljudi moraju da pešače do i od železničke stanice.
Londoners are currently being urged to avoid public transport and cycle or walk to work instead.
Londonci se trenutno pozivaju da izbegavaju javni prevoz i umesto toga voze biciklo ili pešače do posla.
Working with London’s boroughs, the programme will rapidly transform London’s streets to accommodate a possible ten-fold increase in cycling and five-fold increase in walking as lockdown restrictions are eased.
Radeći sa londonskim opštinama, program će se brzo transformisati londonske ulice kako bi se prilagodio mogućem desetostrukom povećanju vožnje biciklom i petostrukom povećanju pešačenja kako se restrikcije zaključavanja budu ublažavale.
Some other health experts have also praised the government for taking steps to encourage walking and cycling, which will increase the overall health of the population.
Neki drugi zdravstveni stručnjaci takođe su pohvalili vladu što je preduzela korake za podsticanje hodanja i vožnje bicikla, što će povećati opšte zdravlje stanovništva.
