这项研究探讨了社会接触是否是绿地与健康关系背后的潜在机制。我们测量了10,089名荷兰居民的社会接触和健康状况，并计算了每个人的地址在邮政编码坐标周围1公里和3公里半径内的绿色百分比。在对社会经济和人口特征进行调整后，人们生活环境中较少的绿地与孤独感和感觉到的社会支持不足相吻合。孤独感和缺乏社会支持在一定程度上调节了绿地与健康之间的关系。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study explored whether social contacts are an underlying mechanism behind the relationship between green space and health. We measured social contacts and health in 10,089 residents of the Netherlands and calculated the percentage of green within I and a 3 km radius around the postal code coordinates for each individual's address. After adjustment for socio-economic and demographic characteristics, less green space in people's living environment coincided with feelings of loneliness and with perceived shortage of social support. Loneliness and perceived shortage of social support partly mediated the relation between green space and health. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
