Residential greenness, genetic susceptibility, and asthma risk: Mediating roles of air pollution in UK and Chinese populations
Residential greenness is associated with a lower risk of asthma, particularly in genetically susceptible and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, partially through improving air quality. Our findings advocate for integrating green space optimization into urban planning as a precision public health strategy.
