Neighborhood socioeconomic disparities in cancer incidence following a hypothetical intervention to increase residential greenspace cover in the UK Biobank cohort
Higher residential greenspace cover was associated with lower total and lung cancer incidence, and suggestively associated with lower breast and prostate cancer incidence. Policies to increase residential greenspace cover may reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.
