Greenspace Proximity in relation to sleep health among a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of US women

Sleep is essential for overall health. Greenspace, which includes parks and other areas with grass, trees, or other vegetation, may contribute to sleep health by improving mood, reducing sleep disruptors (e.g., poor air quality, noise), and promoting physical activity. In the Sister Study, greenspace was measured by linking participants' addresses to a NASA-derived satellite-based measure of green space. Overall, living near low to moderate greenspace rather than high greenspace was associated with a higher prevalence of moderate or poor sleep health.
