Abstract

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