Does the Health Impact of Exposure to Neighbourhood Green Space
                Differ between Population Groups? An Explorative Study in Four
                European Cities

It has been suggested that certain residents, such as those with
                a low socioeconomic status, the elderly, and women, may benefit
                more from the presence of neighbourhood green space than others.
                We tested this hypothesis for age, gender, educational level,
                and employment status in four European cities. Data were
                collected in Barcelona (Spain; n = 1002), Kaunas (Lithuania; n =
                989), Doetinchem (The Netherlands; n = 847), and Stoke-on-Trent
                (UK; n = 933) as part of the EU-funded PHENOTYPE project.
                Surveys were used to measure mental and general health,
                individual characteristics, and perceived neighbourhood green
                space. Additionally, we used audit data about neighbourhood
                green space. In Barcelona, there were positive associations
                between neighbourhood green space and general health among
                low-educated residents. In the other cities and for the other
                population groups, there was little evidence that the
                association between health and neighbourhood green space
                differed between population groups. Overall, our study does not
                support the assumption that the elderly, women, and residents
                who are not employed full-time benefit more from neighbourhood
                green space than others. Only in the highly urbanised city of
                Barcelona did the low-educated group benefit from neighbourhood
                green spaces. Perhaps neighbourhood green spaces are more
                important for the health of low-educated residents in
                particularly highly urbanised areas.
