Analysis of influence of green plantations structure on population health

Article preview

The most common diseases, such as influenza, acute viral infections (ARVI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections (tuberculosis and pneumonia) were chosen as criteria for health indicators, as they can be sampled in large enough volumes. In addition, respiratory diseases may reflect the role of green spaces in health changes. The results obtained do not provide a definite answer as to whether there are any pronounced trends. In some cases, the relationship between the area of green spaces and respiratory morbidity in children was the opposite of the expected one. Factors such as the social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In the future, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters studied, especially with regard to plantations.

Analysis of the impact of green space structure on public health

Article preview

The most common diseases: influenza, acute viral infections (ARI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections: tuberculosis and pneumonia were chosen as criteria indicators of public health, because we could get a fairly large sample size for them, as well as determine the impact of green spaces on public health. The results do not show any clear trends. In some cases, the relationship between green space and respiratory disease in children is reversed. Factors such as social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In further analysis, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters investigated, especially with regard to plantations.
