Longitudinal Impacts of High Versus Low Greenness on Cardiovascular Disease Conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Greenness-or vegetative presence-has been identified as a factor in chronic disease. The present study examines the longitudinal relationship between objective measures of greenness at the residential block level and incidence of 6 cardiovascular disease conditions.

Methods and results

Analyses examined the impact of consistently high versus consistently low "precision" greenness at the Census block level on the 5-year incidence of cardiovascular disease conditions, including acute myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke/transient ischemic attack, and hypertension, among 229 034 US Medicare beneficiaries in Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. Zero-inflated Poisson regression was used to model the odds of developing an
