Longitudinal Impacts of High Versus Low Greenness on Cardiovascular Disease Conditions
Over a 5-year period, consistently high greenness, when compared with consistently low greenness, was associated with lower odds of any new cardiovascular disease conditions. Identifying the role of greenness exposure in such a small geographic area, the Census block on which the older adult resides, allows for more precise, strategic decisions on where additional trees can be added-by selecting at-risk blocks rather than entire neighborhoods for tree-planting interventions.
