Blue space exposure, health and well-being: Does freshwater type matter?

Craig W. McDougall et al.

Summary: There is growing evidence that spending time in or around water bodies or 'blue spaces' can result in improved human health. This study in Scotland investigated the association between different freshwater blue space types and general health and mental well-being. Living close to lakes, rivers, or canals did not have a significant impact on health and well-being, but frequent visits to rivers and canals were associated with greater mental well-being. Understanding the health benefits of different freshwater environments can inform policymaking to maximize the health-promoting potential of urban blue spaces.
