A recent study from Stockholm University and Karolinska Institute indicates that living near green spaces may reduce dementia risk by 20%. The research, involving nearly 3,000 participants over 16 years, found that proximity to greenery is linked to better brain health and resilience against dementia. Factors such as reduced stress, improved sleep, and social cohesion contribute to this protective effect. The study highlights the importance of urban planning that incorporates green spaces to support brain health, especially as dementia cases are projected to rise significantly in Europe by 2050. Experts emphasize the need for accessible green environments for diverse populations.
