Researchers from The University of Queensland are shining a light on the link between greenspace exposure and better health in the hope of influencing future urban greening policies.
Chinonso Odebeatu, a PhD candidate from UQ’s School of Public Health, led a recent study that found positive associations between exposure to greenspace and sufficient vitamin D levels, which support skeletal, cardiovascular and metabolic health.
The study involved more than 440,000 participants in the United Kingdom and examined the association between greenspace exposure and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) – a blood measurement that determines healthy levels of vitamin D.
