Abstract in brief

This study systematically reviews and analyzes 29 observational studies to examine how the amount of natural vegetation around homes (residential greenness) impacts birth outcomes such as birth weight, low birth weight, preterm birth, and small for gestational age.
The meta-analysis finds that higher residential greenness is generally associated with increased birth weights and reduced risk of low birth weight, but no significant links were found between greenness and preterm birth or SGA.
Overall, increased greenness appears to have positive effects on certain birth outcomes, suggesting that natural vegetation around homes may help buffer some adverse health effects related to urban living.
