This study finds a relationship between enhanced vegetation index and body mass index in children, suggesting caution in interpretation of green space access.
Key Points
A one-unit increase in enhanced vegetation index was linked to a 20% higher likelihood of being overweight or obese.
The final analysis included 200,237 children, providing a substantial dataset for evaluating associations.
Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between residential greenness and childhood weight status.
Findings indicate the need for careful interpretation of greenness and green space regarding children's weight status.
