Beyond Spatial Relationships: Residential Greenness and Birth Outcomes
A growing body of evidence indicates that living near natural, vegetated areas may contribute to various positive health outcomes, ranging from improved mental health to decreased mortality rate. Past studies have suggested four ways green spaces may improve health: by reducing harmful environmental exposures to noise, heat, or air pollutants; by providing more opportunities for physical activi...
متن کاملGreenness and Birth Outcomes in a Range of Pennsylvania Communities.
Living in communities with more vegetation during pregnancy has been associated with higher birth weights, but fewer studies have evaluated other birth outcomes, and only one has been conducted in the Eastern United States, in regions with a broad range, including high levels, of greenness.

متن کاملResidential greenness: current perspectives on its impact on maternal health and pregnancy outcomes
Recent research in environmental epidemiology has attempted to estimate the effects of exposure to nature, often operationalized as vegetation, on health. Although many analyses have focused on vegetation or greenness with regard to physical activity and weight status, an incipient area of interest concerns maternal health and birth outcomes. This paper reviews 14 studies that examined the asso...
متن کاملComparison between Water Birth and Land Birth in terms of Fetal and Neonatal Outcomes
Introduction: Although warm water is used for labor pain reduction, there is controversy regarding the potential complications of water birth.
