Prenatal and postpartum residential greenness and behavioral development in early Childhood: Findings from a birth cohort
Key Points
Behavioral development is positively influenced by increased residential greenness during prenatal and postpartum periods, indicating that environmental factors matter.
Specifically, higher greenness exposure during pregnancy correlates with improved behavioral outcomes in children at ages 3 and 5.
Observational analysis across a birth cohort examines the effects of prenatal and postpartum residential greenness on child behavior.
These findings highlight the importance of green spaces in residential areas for promoting child development, suggesting further studies to explore environmental impacts.
