One study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public and Bringham and Women’s Hospital found that women, in particular, may live longer and improve their mental health if they live in — or near — green spaces.
Researchers looked at over 108,000 women in the U.S. enrolled in a nurse’s health study between 2000 and 2008 and compared their risk of death with the amount of greenery (plants and vegetation) near their homes.
According to the results, women who lived in areas with the most greenery had a 12 per cent lower death rate compared to those who lived in areas with little greenery.
When looking at specific causes of death, the study found that women near nature had a 41 per cent lower death rate for kidney disease, a 34 per cent lower death rate for respiratory disease and a 13 per cent lower death rate for cancer.
