More Evidence Proving Abundant Natural Environments and Outdoors Benefit Health

In another study analyzing the morbidity of 366,000 over a five year period, Scottish researchers found that living near parks, woodland or other open spaces helped to reduce health inequalities related to income and social deprivation. Dr Terry Hartig, from the Institute for Housing and Urban Research at Uppsala University in Sweden, wrote: “This study offers valuable evidence that green space does more than ‘pretty up’ the neighbourhood – it appears to have real effects on health inequality, of a kind that politicians and health authorities should take seriously.”

In New York, researchers at Columbia University have found that living in an area with more trees dramatically reduces the likelihood of developing asthma. Rates of asthma among four and five year old children dropped by 25% per every extra 343 trees per square kilometer within their community. Asthma is the leading cause of hospital admission in New York among children less than 15 year of age.
