Satellite-Based and Street-View Green Space and Adiposity in US Children.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Green space may be associated with obesity outcomes in children by promoting physical activity and reducing stress. However, previous studies have mostly used a single measure of green space and body mass index (BMI) as the sole indicator of adiposity.

Objective

To examine associations of the satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and street-view imagery-based green space metrics with comprehensive adiposity measures in children.

Design, setting, and participants

The Project Viva cohort study observed participants from mid-childhood (mean [SD] age, 8.0 [0.8] years) and early adolescence (mean [SD] age, 13.3 [1.0] years) through late adolescence (mean [SD] age, 17.8 [0.7] years) between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2021. This anal
