Abstract
Lifestyle interventions for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are more likely to be effective if participants live in supportive neighbourhood environments. Deprived neighbourhoods increase T2DM risk. Parks and other "green spaces" promote active lifestyles and, therefore, may reduce T2DM risk. We investigated the association between neighbourhood green space and the risk of T2DM in a large group of adult Australians.
