Nature exposure represents a promising option to promote mental health, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent frameworks have argued that changes in mental health in nature are caused by activity changes in the vagus nerve, which connects the heart and the brain, and that these changes also improve executive functioning (EF) abilities. This suggests that changes in mental health symptomology in nature should be accompanied by changes in vagus nerve activity, as well as changes in executive functioning. Yet, little work has systematically examined co-variation of these outcomes in empirical studies. The present manuscript systematically examines whether changes in mental health in nature are accompanied by changes in vagus nerve activity (approximated by heartrate variability) and changes in executive functioning.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>There is compelling evidence that spending time in nature can increase heartrate variability, improve mental health, and improve executive functioning. However, despite strong theoretical claims that these three outcomes should be linked after spending time in nature settings, few studies directly examine such co-occurrence. The study systematically examines whether studies that considered both mental health and executive functioning (n = 6) showed co-occurring effects in response to nature exposure. Similarly, the study also considers if studies examining mental health and heartrate variability (n = 6) showed similarly directional effects following nature exposure. This systematic review concludes with discussion about the limited number of studies (n =1) that include all three measures. We find mixed results of co-occurrence with these variables, suggesting that the relationship between these three constructs in nature may be more nuanced than current theory suggests. Perhaps more importantly, our results demonstrate that there is very little existing work linking changes in mental health to changes in EF and vagal tone. We conclude with justification for why it may be beneficial for researchers to include all three metrics as well as guidance on how to do so.</p>","PeriodicalId":10775,"journal":{"name":"Current Environmental Health Reports","volume":"10 3","pages":"278-290"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10280545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IgG-RDs have a prevalence of at least 1 case every 100,000 persons, and they are mostly diagnosed after age 50, with a male to female ratio of about 3:1. IgG4-RD pathophysiology is still uncertain: it has been proposed that both genetic predisposition and chronic environmental exposures may play a role by triggering abnormal immune activation that perpetuates the disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidences supporting the hypothesis that certain environmental/occupational exposures can trigger IgG4-RDs, focusing on the possible role of asbestos in an emerging IgG4-RD called idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF).</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Although some studies suggested a relationship between tobacco smoking and IgG4-RD risk, occupational exposures seem to have the most interesting effects. Positive history of blue-collar work increases the risk of developing an IgG4-RD, and mineral dusts and asbestos were the most strongly associated industrial compounds. Asbestos has been found to be a risk factor for IRF years before its classification as IgG4-RD, and later in two large case-control studies. In the most recent one, conducted on 90 patients and 270 controls, asbestos exposure conferred an increased IRF risk, quantified by odds ratios from 2.46 to 7.07. Further structured studies including serum IgG4 evaluation should be conducted to clarify the effect of asbestos on patients with confirmed diagnosis of IgG4-related IRF. Environmental exposures, especially of occupational origin, appear to play a role in the development of different types of IgG-RDs.
