Residential Greenness and the Incidence of Dyslipidemia in Chinese Adults: A Large Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. While cross-sectional studies suggest lower odds of dyslipidemia in greener environments, longitudinal research is limited. This prospective cohort study analyzed data from 3,454,623 adults from January 2017 to December 2021, focusing on dyslipidemia and its subtypes. Residential greenness was assessed using vegetation indices and greenspace percentages. Cox regressions and generalized estimating equation models were used to analyze associations between greenness and dyslipidemia outcomes. Over a median follow-up period of 3.21 years, 744,732 cases of dyslipidemia were observed. Greener environments were associated with a reduced risk of dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperbetalipoproteinem
