Gavin Pereira,Gavin Pereira,Hayley Christian,Sarah Foster,Bryan Boruff,Fiona Bull,Matthew Knuiman,Billie Giles-Corti +7 more
TL;DR: Higher levels and greater variation of neighborhood greenness are associated with lower odds of obesity among adults of all ages and research examining neighborhood characteristics correlated with variability in greenness will help better understand these relationships.
