Cyclists & All-Cause Mortality

Cyclists who ride for 3 hours a week or more have a 28% lower risk of all-cause mortality than non-cyclists, according to a 2000 study in Archives of Internal Medicine.

Decreased Risk of Mortality in Cyclists

 

Cyclists & Cancer

Cyclists who commute to work at least 30 miles a week have a 45% reduction in all cancer incidence as compared to non-cyclists, according to a 2017 study in the BMJ.

This UK based prospective population based study investigated the association between active commuting and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all cause mortality. The study included 263 450 participants (106 674 (52%) women; mean age 52.6) from 22 sites across the UK. The exposure variable was the mode of transport used (walking, cycling, mixed mode v non-active (car or public transport)) to commute to and from work on a typical day. The study found that commuting by cycling was associated with a lower risk of all cause mortality and adverse CVD and cancer outcomes, in a dose dependent manner and independent of a range of confounding factors.

Cyclists & Life Expectancy

Male cyclists live 2.9 - 5.3 years (varying by intensity) longer as compared to non-cycling males. Female cyclists live 2.2 - 3.9 years (varying by intensity) longer than non-cycling females, according to a 2012 study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

Recommended exercise amounts have historically remained around 30 minutes per day of moderate activity (brisk walking) if possible. This study aimed at examining the impact of intensity and duration of cycling on mortality. The study concluded that relative intensity, and not duration as previously thought, was more important when related to mortality.
