Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a global public health concern, yet its association with neighborhood green space remains unexplored at a national scale in Brazil. This study analyzed the relationship between green space, measured via the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and diabetes-related hospitalizations from 2008 to 2018. Using quasi-Poisson regression models, we assessed hospitalization data by sex and age group, incorporating air pollution, weather, and socioeconomic factors as covariates. Results showed regional variations: increased greenness was linked to lower hospitalizations in the North and Midwest, while the Northeast and Southeast exhibited higher hospitalization rates with increased NDVI. The South had mixed results, with positive associations for men and middle-aged individuals. Findings suggest green spaces may have a protective effect in some regions but require further investigation in others. These results underscore the need for targeted urban planning and public health strategies to optimize green space benefits.

巴西社区绿地与糖尿病的关系

糖尿病是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，但在巴西，它与社区绿地的关系仍未在全国范围内得到探索。本研究分析了2008年至2018年绿地面积（通过归一化植被指数（NDVI）测量）与糖尿病相关住院之间的关系。使用准泊松回归模型，我们按性别和年龄组评估住院数据，并将空气污染、天气和社会经济因素作为协变量。结果显示了区域差异：北部和中西部的绿化增加与较低的住院率有关，而东北部和东南部的住院率随着NDVI的增加而增加。南方的结果好坏参半，男性和中年人与之呈正相关。研究结果表明，绿地在某些地区可能具有保护作用，但在其他地区还需要进一步研究。这些结果强调了有针对性的城市规划和公共卫生战略的必要性，以优化绿色空间的效益。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
