Non-linear associations were observed between EVI and obese indicators. Participants living in Quartile 3 benefited more than in Quartile 4 compared to the lowest quartile (Quartile 1) of greenness. For peripheral obesity, participants living in Quartile 3 of EVI

had 0.86 kg/m

(β -0.86, 95% CI -1.10, -0.61) lower BMI, and 46% (OR 0.54,…[Read more]
