Exposure to green space has been associated with a range of human health benefits, largely in spatial epidemiological studies. Green space and artificial light at night are both associated with breast and prostate cancer, depressive symptoms, obesity, and sleep problems, and are both influenced by the built environment and urbanisation. We identified a negative correlation between green space diversity and outdoor artificial light at night for Australian major cities. Outdoor artificial light at night is therefore a potential, but overlooked, confounder in spatial epidemiological studies of green space exposure and human health, and should be incorporated into future models.
暴露在绿色空间中与一系列人类健康益处有关，这主要在空间流行病学研究中得到了证实。绿色空间和夜间人工光都与乳腺癌和前列腺癌、抑郁症状、肥胖和睡眠问题有关，并且都受到建筑环境和城市化的影响。我们发现澳大利亚主要城市的绿色空间多样性与夜间户外人工光之间存在负相关关系。因此，夜间户外人工光是空间流行病学研究中绿色空间暴露与人类健康的一个潜在但被忽视的混杂因素，应该纳入未来的模型中。
