Coastal Proximity and Visits are Associated with Better Health | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This preregistered study used cross-sectional data from the SOPHIE and SOPHIA surveys to investigate the relationship between coastal proximity and visits with self-reported general health, and their potential to buffer income-related health inequalities across 15 countries. Living closer to the coast and visiting it more often were associated with better self-reported health. However, these benefits were not strongest among low-income individuals, challenging the assumption that coastal access buffers income-related health inequalities.
