Domestic gardens and morbidity: Associations between private green space and diagnosed health conditions in the Netherlands

Own private green space is inversely associated with the prevalence of many health conditions, more so than other nearby green space. Responsible pathways are unclear. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to identify the pathways underlying the cross-sectional associations. Information on pathways may also offer clues on how to compensate for the absence of a domestic garden, which is likely to become more common due to urban densification.
