Exploring Spatial Pathways to Increase Perceived Health for Primordial Prevention of Isolation and Loneliness

This study aimed to clarify how much the presence and use of greenery in the living environment affects perceived health compared to individuals' characteristics and the status of health, activity, and social participation. The research employed a stochastic choice model with a discrete dependent variable, and an ordinal logit model with self-rated health as the objective variable. The marginal probability effects at means of personal characteristics, perceived health, activity, and social participation status, and green presence and use utility were calculated to clarify the relationship between the two.
