There are many potential reasons for this: Green space can promote exercise, and it's more often found in wealthier communities that also have access to more nutritious food and higher-quality health care.
But after adjusting for some of these factors, the researchers still concluded that"neighborhood green space is modestly protective against diabetes, indicating that neighborhood-level planning that supports healthy behaviors and lifestyles may aid in diabetes prevention."
