Environmental Greenness and Cardiovascular Health provides a comprehensive understanding of how environmental factors, particularly green spaces, impact cardiovascular health. The book bridges environmental science and medical research, offering insights into how greenness contributes to the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases.
Environmental Greenness and Cardiovascular Health begins with an introduction to cardiovascular disease and environmental factors, followed by discussions on defining and measuring greenness, historical perspectives, and the physiological and psychological benefits of green spaces. It also covers urban planning, disparities in access to green spaces, longitudinal studies, future research directions, and policy implications. Environmental Greenness and Cardiovascular Health benefits researchers, medical practitioners, urban planners, and policymakers by providing the latest methodologies, practical examples, and policy recommendations. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the intersection of environment and health, promoting informed strategies for improving cardiovascular health through environmental interventions.
