Residential Green Space and Cognitive Function in a Large Cohort of Middle-Aged Women.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Green space can decelerate cognitive decline by supporting physical activity, psychological restoration, or reducing exposure to air pollution. However, existing studies on the association of green space with cognitive decline are limited.

Objective

To examine whether residential green space was associated with cognitive function in middle-aged women.

Design, setting, and participants

Starting in 1989, the Nurses' Health Study II enrolled 116 429 female nurses aged 25 to 42 years residing in the US. In 2014 to 2016, 40 082 women were invited to complete an online cognitive battery. This cohort study analyzed women who had data on both green space exposure and cognitive measures. Data analysis was conducted from June to October 2021.
