Association of urban green and blue space with accelerated ageing: A cohort Study in the UK Biobank by YiNi Wang, XinYu Shi, Fei Yang, ShengYuan Wang, TianShu Han, Kun Ma

“…Results: After controlling for random effects and various types of covariates, we found that 1) populations with higher levels of UGBS exposure are associated with accelerated ageing and slowing down; 2) UGBS has the greatest impact on accelerated ageing within a 1000-m street network buffer distance; 3) Participants living in heavily polluted areas should pay more attention to UGBS; 4) Intermediary analysis found that UGBS mainly accelerates aging by reducing harm, rather than affecting the population's ability to recover and build. …”
