This news is based on the following article: David Rojas-Rueda D, Nieuwenhuijsen MJ, Gascon M, Perez-Leon D, Mudu P. Green spaces and mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. Lancet Planet Health 2019 ; 3 : 469–77. doi : 10.1016/S2542-5196(19)30215-3
A systematic review of the literature examined the link between exposure to green spaces and mortality, targeting only the more robust longitudinal studies. It reports a negative association and for the first time provides an exposure-response function, which the authors suggest should be used in health impact assessments to test various scenarios for urban planning.
