Few previous studies evaluated ethnic differences in the effects of urban environments on the autonomic balance in intra-ethnic environments and the mediation effects of environmental exposures (air pollution, noise, and thermal load). In a field experimental study, we exposed 48 Muslim and 24 Jewish women to park, town center, and residential street in Israeli mono-ethnic small towns. Heart rate variability (HRV), noise, thermal load, and carbon monoxide (CO) were measured by portable devices while visiting the environments and were analyzed using mixed models. The results highlight the restorative effect of parks on both ethnic groups with stronger effect for Jewish women compared to Muslim women (β coefficient (95% confidence interval (CI)): - 6.45(- 6.70, - 6.20); - 4.99 (- 5.15, - 4.83), respectively). However, significant differences were recorded in Muslim and Jewish coping with the environments and the environmental exposures as measured by HRV.
先前的研究很少评估城市环境对同种族环境中自主平衡的影响的种族差异，以及环境暴露（空气污染、噪音和热负荷）的中介作用。在一项现场实验研究中，我们让 48 名穆斯林女性和 24 名犹太女性暴露在以色列单一民族小镇的公园、市中心和住宅街道。在访问环境时，使用便携式设备测量心率变异性 (HRV)、噪音、热负荷和一氧化碳 (CO)，并使用混合模型进行分析。结果突出了公园对两个群体的恢复作用，与穆斯林女性相比，犹太女性的作用更强（β 系数（95%置信区间 (CI)）：-6.45(-6.70，-6.20)；-4.99(-5.15，-4.83)）。然而，在穆斯林和犹太女性应对环境和 HRV 测量的环境暴露方面，记录到了显著差异。
