Residential greenness is considered a unique and potentially modifiable exposure construct to reduce physiological stress and improve human health. Here this study aims to investigate the longitudinal relationships of residential greenness with incident depression and anxiety and to explore and compare the pathways in which greenery may influence mental health. After excluding participants with depression… Continue reading Long-term exposure to residential #greenness and decreased risk of #depression and #anxiety

Inequalities in urban greenness and epigenetic aging: Different associations by race and neighborhood socioeconomic status
Slower epigenetic aging is associated with exposure to green space (greenness); however, the longitudinal relationship has not been well studied, particularly in minority groups. We investigated the association between 20-year exposure to greenness [Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)] and epigenetic aging in a large, biracial (Black/white), U.S. urban cohort. Using generalized estimating equations adjusted for… Continue reading Inequalities in urban greenness and epigenetic aging: Different associations by race and neighborhood socioeconomic status
Evaluation of #green light exposure on #headache frequency and quality of life in #migraine patients: A preliminary one-way cross-over clinical trial
..We recruited (29 total) patients, of whom seven had episodic migraine and 22 had chronic migraine. We used a one-way cross-over design consisting of exposure for 1–2 hours daily to white light emitting diodes for 10 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period followed by exposure for 1–2 hours daily to green light emitting diodes… Continue reading Evaluation of #green light exposure on #headache frequency and quality of life in #migraine patients: A preliminary one-way cross-over clinical trial
Association Between #Greenness Surrounding Schools and Kindergartens and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children in China.
..The mean (SD) age of the 59 754 study participants was 10.3 (3.6) years, and 29 494 (49.4%) were girls. A total of 2566 participants (4.3%) had #ADHD symptoms. Greenness levels differed substantially across schools and kindergartens. The normalized difference vegetation index within 500 m of a school or kindergarten ranged from -0.09 to 0.77. Greater… Continue reading Association Between #Greenness Surrounding Schools and Kindergartens and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children in China.
