Abstract

Background: Residential greenness has been associated with health, but exposure to visible, functional, and accessible green may be associated with different health outcomes.

Sources of data: We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase for quantitative studies evaluating health in relation to specific green space exposures.

Areas of agreement: There is evidence for associations between visible, functional, and accessible green space exposures and health, but most evidence is derived from observational studies.

Areas of controversy: High heterogeneity was found across studies with the possibility of publication bias. Some studies suggest stronger associations in low socioeconomic status and urban neighborhoods, but the evidence is inconclusive.

Growing points: Quantitative and clinical evidence for health impacts of interventions focusing on improving visible, functional, and accessible green space exposure is limited and therefore causal relationships can usually not be inferred.

Areas timely for developing research: Further research should include randomized controlled trials and consider different green space types, private green, spatial configuration, street network distances, and quality and use.

与可见、功能性和可达性绿色空间相关的人类健康：3 + 30 + 300指南的系统回顾和叙事综合。

背景：住宅绿化与健康有关，但暴露于可见的、功能性的和可接近的绿色可能与不同的健康结果有关。数据来源：我们搜索了Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus和Embase，以获得与特定绿地暴露有关的健康评估定量研究。一致的领域：有证据表明，可见的、功能性的和可接近的绿色空间暴露与健康之间存在关联，但大多数证据来自观察性研究。争议领域：在研究中发现高度异质性，可能存在发表偏倚。一些研究表明，低社会经济地位与城市社区的联系更强，但证据尚无定论。增长点：侧重于改善可见、功能性和可及的绿色空间暴露的干预措施对健康影响的定量和临床证据有限，因此通常无法推断出因果关系。适时开展研究的领域：进一步的研究应包括随机对照试验，并考虑不同的绿地类型、私人绿地、空间配置、街道网络距离、质量和使用。

期刊介绍： British Medical Bulletin is a multidisciplinary publication, which comprises high quality reviews aimed at generalist physicians, junior doctors, and medical students in both developed and developing countries. Its key aims are to provide interpretations of growing points in medicine by trusted experts in the field, and to assist practitioners in incorporating not just evidence but new conceptual ways of thinking into their practice.
