A new study found that trees, but not grass or other greenery, are associated with a lower risk of heart disease in cities.

People living in urban areas with more trees have a 4% lower risk of heart disease, while living near more grass, bushes or shrubs carried a higher risk.

The researchers used street view images and AI analysis to evaluate urban greenery, going beyond previous studies that relied on satellite imagery.

They were surprised by the potentially harmful associations with grass and other greenery besides trees, and suggest more research is needed to understand the specific effects of different types of urban vegetation on health.

The findings indicate that public health interventions should prioritize preserving and planting tree canopies in neighborhoods to yield greater cardiovascular health benefits. | #Trees #UrbanDwellers #HeartHealth #MedNews #NotGrassorOtherGreenery #health #healthnews #medicine #medical #medicalnews #healthcare
