00:00 A study published in the Journal of Transport and Health evaluates the connection between
00:04 daily commutes and poor mental health.
00:07 The research consisted of more than 23,000 individuals answering questions based on the
00:12 Five Point World Health Organization Well-Being Index in conjunction with their time of commute
00:17 and further adjustments for age, weekly work hours, income, occupation and shift work.
00:24 Science Alert reports the study bridges a research gap in regards to lengthy commutes
00:29 and the physical effects that may lead to further mental health in Asian populations.
00:35 South Koreans who commute longer than an hour are 16 percent more likely to experience depressive
00:41 symptoms over those with commutes under 30 minutes.
00:45 Researchers explained to the Korean Biomedical Review, with less time to spare, people could
00:50 be short of time to relieve stress and combat physical fatigue through sleep, hobbies and
00:56 other activities.
00:57 The researchers conclude reducing travel time and distance to improve transportation may
01:02 provide a better commuting environment for people and improve their mental health.
01:07 It is important to note the National Korean Survey data didn't specify the modes of transport
01:13 the commuters used.
