23、 environment with parks and trees.

Using information from a landuse database of 2001, the researchers divided the preretirement population of England into four groups according to income level, and five groups according to access to green space. They then looked at death rate for 20012005. They found that the ineq
27、uality in death rate from all causes relating to lack of money was less in those populations in the greenest areas compared with the figures for people living in more builtup places. They found an even stronger relationship when it came to deaths from certain diseases such as heart conditions and st
