Exposure to Neighborhood Walkability and Residential Greenness and Incident Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Emerging studies have suggested that environmental factors are associated with fracture. However, little is known about the association of neighborhood walkability and residential greenness with fracture.

Objective

To investigate the association of long-term exposure to walkability and greenness with incident fracture and explore the potential interaction effect.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study recruited participants aged 40 years or older in Ningbo, China from June 2015 to January 2018. Participants were observed for outcomes through February 2023, with data analysis conducted in March 2023.
