New York: Women near natural vegetation life live longer, compared to women with the lowest levels of vegetation near their homes, a recent ...
According to researchers, women with the highest levels of vegetation around their homes a mortality rate of 12 percent had low.
The results showed that the lowest rate of 41 percent lower death of kidney disease, the mortality rate of 34 percent fewer respiratory diseases and 13 percent mortality of cancer in green areas.
"It is important to know that the trees and plants provide benefits to the health of our communities and beauty," Linda Birnbaum said the National Health Sciences and Environment Institute of the USA ..
"The finding of reduced mortality suggests that the vegetation to health in many ways can be important," Birnbaum said in the work published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
The team examined the green around the houses 1,08,630 women from 2000 to 2008 to examine how an environment with trees, shrubs and plants could reduce mortality rates.
Then, a map of where the origin and the high resolution satellite images were used to determine the amount of vegetation within 250 meters and 1,250 meters of houses.
"The ability to examine the relatively small details vegetation to many houses, taking into account the characteristics of each of the participants is a key to this study," lead researcher Bonnie Joubert NIEHS said.
The researchers found even lower rates of mortality in women and increase the level of the trees and plants around their homes.
Improving mental health and social engagement are the strongest factors that contribute while increasing physical activity and air pollution also reduced, according to the study.
The scientists also observed characteristics that might otherwise contribute to mortality risk, such as age, race, ethnicity, smoking and socioeconomic status.
They were able to have more confidence that the vegetation plays a role in reducing mortality, rather than this.
