Don’t Overlook Nature Thru Your Window

Extensive studies have underscored the positive associations between various types of greenspace exposure and physical activity.  More recently, researchers in China have found a positive association between greenspaces viewed from windows of older adults and their physical activity.  Specifically, the more vegetation seen through a window, its complexity, unity and perceived greenness are significantly associated with the intention of physical activity.  This intention has the potential to influence the intensity of physical activity among older adults.
