Abstract

Highlights Residential greenspace exposure was found to be associated with moderate cognitive health benefit for older U.S. adults. Dementia subtypes may be differentially impacted by exposure to residential greenspace. Combining multiple greenspace measures may better capture a holistic picture of exposure to greenspace compared to one measure alone.
