摘要

撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)的快速城市化和气候变化导致栖息地丧失、森林砍伐和城市绿地减少。城市绿化对生物多样性、公共健康和气候适应能力至关重要。城市绿地具有多种健康优势,包括降低城市热应激,增强人们的身心健康。然而,人们对该地区城市绿化的可及性、使用情况以及对人口健康的影响知之甚少。这一范围综述绘制了SSA城市绿地可用性、利用和人口健康影响的证据。审查还确定了加强和促进可持续性和城市卫生的障碍和促进因素。根据JBI范围审查框架和PRISMA-ScR标准,本研究从主要数据库、灰色文献和参考文献中筛选了10,683条记录。最初的标题和摘要筛选产生118条记录用于全文筛选,其中72条记录被纳入最终分析,使用主题分析和叙事综合来绘制证据图。研究发现,SSA城市绿地的可利用性和可达性存在显著差异,往往达不到国际标准。维护不善、腐败、安全问题和社会经济差异是限制城市绿地利用的因素,而邻近性促进了使用。使用城市绿地的好处包括减轻压力、增加体力活动和降低患非传染性疾病(包括肥胖和高血压)的风险。然而,缺乏绿色空间和对这些空间的忽视增加了呼吸问题和媒介传播疾病的风险。需要对城市绿地进行战略投资,进行政策改革和社区主导的绿化行动,以改善获取和利用,特别是在绿色枯竭地区。未来的研究需要集中在实验和纵向方法上,以证明城市绿地与健康结果之间的因果关系,加强SSA的可持续城市规划和健康公平,以实现可持续发展目标3和13。

Impact of Urban Green on Population Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Scoping Review.

Sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA) rapid urbanization and climate change have resulted in habitat loss, deforestation, and reduction in urban green spaces. Urban greenness is vital for biodiversity, public health, and climate resilience. Urban green spaces have several health advantages, including lowering urban heat stress and enhancing mental and physical well-being of the population. However, little is known about the accessibility, use, and effects of urban greenness on population health in the region. This scoping review maps the evidence on urban green space availability, utilization, and population health impacts in SSA. The review also identifies the barriers and facilitators that strengthen and contribute to sustainability and urban health. In accordance with the JBI scoping review framework and PRISMA-ScR criteria, this study screened 10,683 records from major databases, grey literature, and reference checks. Initial title and abstract screening produced 118 records for full-text screening, from which 72 records were incorporated into the final analysis, which mapped the evidence using thematic analysis and narrative synthesis. It was found that urban green spaces in SSA are characterized by significant disparities in availability and accessibility, with such areas frequently falling short of international standards. Poor maintenance, corruption, safety issues, and socioeconomic disparities are factors that limit urban green space utilization, while proximity facilitates usage. Stress reduction, increased physical activity, and lower risk of non-communicable diseases, including obesity and hypertension, are identified benefits of the usage of urban green spaces. However, lack of green spaces and neglect of these spaces increase the risk of respiratory problems and vector-borne diseases. Strategic investments in urban green spaces, policy reforms, and community-led greening initiatives are required to improve access and utilization, especially in green-depleted areas. Future research needs to concentrate on experimental and longitudinal methods to demonstrate causal links between urban green space and health outcomes, enhancing sustainable urban planning and health equity in SSA to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 13.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health. The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
