Beneficial associations between outdoor visible greenness at the workplace and metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults

Highlights Outdoor visible greenness was assessed using a Green View Index (GVI) based on street view images through a convolutional neural network model. Higher GVI surrounding the workplace is beneficial for adults to reduce the MetS risk. The protective association was stronger in the males, but such difference was not observed in different age groups. Higher GVI surrounding the workplace was associated with lower odds of hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, obesity, and high levels of FPG.
Abstract Background Greenness surrounding residential places has been found to significantly reduce the risk of diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, it is unclear whether visible greenness exposure at the workplace has any impact on the risk of MetS. Methods Visible greenness exposure was assessed using a Green View Index (GVI) based on street view images through a convolutional neural network model. We utilized logistic regression to examine the cross-sectional association between GVI and MetS as well as its components among 51,552 adults aged 18–60 in the city of Hangzhou, China, from January 2018 to December 2021. Stratified analyses were conducted by age and sex groups. Furthermore, a scenario analysis was conducted to investigate the risks of having MetS among adults in different GVI scenarios. Results The mean age of the participants was 40.1, and 38.5% were women. We found a statistically significant association between GVI and having MetS. Compared to the lowest quartile of GVI, participants in the highest quartile of GVI had a 17% (95% CI: 11–23%) lower odds of having MetS. The protective association was stronger in the males, but we did not observe such differences in different age groups. Furthermore, we found inverse associations between GVI and the odds of hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, obesity, and high levels of FPG. Conclusions Higher exposure to outdoor visible greenness in the workplace environment might have a protective effect against MetS.
