Greenness exposure

1. Greenness exposure decreases waist circumference in humans (β -0.78 (-0.98, -0.58) in rural, β -0.49 (-0.93, -0.06) in urban per 0.1 unit increase in NDVI).

   “the change value of WC in the urban group [β (95%CI):-0.49 (-0.93, -0.06)] was smaller than that in the rural [-0.78 (-0.98, -0.58)] for every 0.1 unit increase in NDVI”

   Humansper 0.1 unit increase in NDVI in rural participantsn = 14,056

1. Greenness exposure lowers the risk of central obesity in humans (OR 0.86 (0.82, 0.89) in rural, OR 0.87 (0.80, 0.95) in urban per 0.1 unit increase in NDVI).

   “the risk of central obesity decreased for urban and rural older adults with an increase of 0.1 unit in NDVI, and the OR (95%CI) values were 0.87 (0.80, 0.95) and 0.86 (0.82, 0.89)”
