Analysis reveals dynamic green space exposure enhances well-being in older adults, indicating new ways to design healthier urban environments.

This research aims to assess the impact of static and dynamic green space exposure on the well-being of older adults.
Analyzed GPS tracking and daily self-reported data from 60 older adults over 15 days.
Measured static home and neighborhood green space exposure alongside dynamic travel-based exposure.
Evaluated correlations between different green space exposure metrics and daily well-being.
Significant differences in static green space exposure between individuals.
Higher daily dynamic exposure linked to frequent trips beyond the neighborhood.
Walking resulted in greater dynamic exposure than cycling.
Total volume of dynamic green space exposure correlated positively with self-rated health.
