Is objectively measured exposure to built and natural environment associated with population-level cardiovascular disease mortality in Great Britain?
Findings have clear policy implications, suggesting prioritisation of reductions in air pollution-particularly in deprived areas-while promoting walkability and tree cover to reduce health inequalities. Unexpected positive associations between 'goods' and mortality highlight that complex neighbourhood effects warrant further study.
