Life-course associations between access to green space and blood lipid levels

Description

Abstract:
The goal of this study was to assess the longitudinal association between access to green space across the life-course and its effects on adult blood lipid levels, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. We used data from the New England Family Study, a 40-year cohort study. Green space access was quantified as distance to closest park, average area of park, and number of parks within participants’ neighborhoods at birth, childhood and adulthood. We used multilevel models to evaluate the longitudinal associations between green space and adult blood lipid levels to account for within and between family variability. We also used Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
