More green spaces? located in cities, the more active children living there become. This conclusion was made by researchers from the United States.
It is well known that where cities come, there is no longer any place for forests or jungles. However, the leadership of cities not only can, but must actively develop green spaces within megacities. And the more parks and squares we have, the better it affects the health of city residents, especially children. Previously, the effect of more green spaces in cities has not been studied in detail in relation to the life of the child. And now this gap has been filled by scientists from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.
The researchers told how the noise in the cities leads to infertility
They specifically looked at the benefits that children who live in cities with a large number of parks and gardens. It turned out that the effect is very significant. The more green spaces there were in cities, the more physically active children turned out to be, they walked more often, rode bicycles and generally moved. Even the quality of their sleep was better in this case.
In cities where there are more men than women, there are more weddings
The researchers analyzed 1,581 children aged 6 to 11 from countries including the UK, France, Spain, Lithuania, Norway and Greece. At the same time, the number of green spaces within cities was not the only factor that was taken into account. In reality, 32 parameters were analyzed, and they were consistently excluded in order to assess the influence of cities as objectively as possible. After all, the mobility of a child can be influenced by parents and many other factors. (READ MORE)
