Research finds that women who live in residential areas conducive to walking have lower incidences of obesity-related cancers.
Studies have already shown the benefits of tree-filled neighbourhoods and the effect of green spaces on cellular ageing.
These refer to residential areas that encourage pedestrian activity, or in which pedestrians can easily get around. These zones can easily be imagined as part of the “15-minute city” concept, in which all essential services are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride of homes. Published in “Environmental Health Perspectives”, the study involved 14,274 women aged 34 to 65, recruited via a New York breast cancer-screening centre between 1985 and 1991, and followed for almost three decades.
Women in the most-walkable neighbourhoods have a 26% lower risk of obesity-related cancers than those in the least-walkable areas. “Urban design can create a context that promotes walking, increases overall physical activity, and reduces car dependency, which could lead to subsequent improvements in preventing diseases attributed to unhealthy weight.”
