绿色空间可以通过几种途径影响健康，例如，增加身体活动，增强社会凝聚力，减少压力和改善空气质量。对于增加身体活动和社会凝聚力的绿色空间，在绿色空间中花费时间可能是重要的。我们调查了青少年是否访问绿色空间以及访问的目的。此外，我们评估了绿色太空访问的预测因素。在这项横断面研究中，分析了荷兰PIAMA（哮喘和螨过敏的预防和发病率）出生队列的1911名参与者的数据。在17岁时，青少年报告了他们访问绿色空间进行体育活动，社交活动，放松以及体验自然和宁静的频率。我们通过对数二项回归评估了绿色太空访问的预测因素，并用于不同的目的。53%的青少年在夏季每周至少访问一次绿色空间，主要是进行体育和社交活动。报告绿色环境对他们（非常）重要的青少年最常访问绿色空间{调整后的患病率（PR）[95%置信区间（CI）]非常与不重要：体育活动为6.84（5.10，9.17），社交活动为4.76（3.72，6.09）}。父亲受过高等教育的男孩和青少年更经常去绿色空间进行体育和社会活动。养狗的青少年更常去绿色空间体验自然和宁静。绿色空间访问与客观测量的住宅绿色空间数量无关，即，平均归一化差异植被指数（NDVI）和百分比的城市，农业，和自然绿色空间的圆形缓冲区周围的青少年的家园。主观变量是更强的预测绿色空间访问的青少年比客观测量的数量的住宅绿色空间。https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2429
Green space may influence health through several pathways, for example, increased physical activity, enhanced social cohesion, reduced stress, and improved air quality. For green space to increase physical activity and social cohesion, spending time in green spaces is likely to be important. We examined whether adolescents visit green spaces and for what purposes. Furthermore, we assessed the predictors of green space visits. In this cross-sectional study, data for 1911 participants of the Dutch PIAMA (Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy) birth cohort were analyzed. At age 17, adolescents reported how often they visited green spaces for physical activities, social activities, relaxation, and to experience nature and quietness. We assessed the predictors of green space visits altogether and for different purposes by log-binomial regression. Fifty-three percent of the adolescents visited green spaces at least once a week in summer, mostly for physical and social activities. Adolescents reporting that a green environment was (very) important to them visited green spaces most frequently {adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] very vs. not important: 6.84 (5.10, 9.17) for physical activities and 4.76 (3.72, 6.09) for social activities}. Boys and adolescents with highly educated fathers visited green spaces more often for physical and social activities. Adolescents who own a dog visited green spaces more often to experience nature and quietness. Green space visits were not associated with the objectively measured quantity of residential green space, i.e., the average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and percentages of urban, agricultural, and natural green space in circular buffers around the adolescents’ homes. Subjective variables are stronger predictors of green space visits in adolescents than the objectively measured quantity of residential green space. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2429
