TL;DR: There is extensive empirical literature on the association between exposure to nature and health as mentioned in this paper, and the strength of evidence from recent experimental and observational studies on nature exposure and health, highlighting research on children and youth where possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of how nature contact has been measured in recent health research and provide insight into current metrics of exposure to nature at individual and population scales.

TL;DR: A narrative review of the recent literature evaluates associations between time spent in nature with values ascribed to nature and nature connectedness, as well as PEAB as discussed by the authors, concluding that more longitudinal studies that consider these factors are needed to assess the duration and frequency of time spend in nature in childhood and its impact on PEAB throughout the life course.

TL;DR: The emerging field of planetary health aims to face this challenge by studying and promoting policies that protect the health of humans and of the Earth's natural systems that support them as mentioned in this paper. But few public health practitioners are familiar with planetary health's systems-oriented approaches for understanding relationships between economic development, environmental degradation, and human health.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that adverse neighborhood environments may contribute to inflammation through pathways independent of behavioral risk factors, including psychosocial stress and toxic environments is supported.
