A strange result found in the research is that the bones of children who live near greenery are stronger. At the same time, the bones of children who stay away from greenery are not as strong. In this study, a direct relationship has been found between the places around residential areas and the density of bone minerals. This study is said to be very important because by strengthening the bone in early life, it reduces the chances of it breaking in future.
The study was conducted as part of the Environment Influence on Aging in Early Life (ENVIRONAGE) birth cohort in Belgium. In this, 327 children aged four to six years in the Flanders region of Belgium were included and the strength of their bones was investigated. In this study, results were obtained through several methods including ultrasonography to determine bone density.
The study revealed that the density of bone minerals increases with the age and height of children. But factors like gender, weight, screen size, race, how many vitamins consumed, how much dairy products consumed, level of education of the mother and the income of the people around do not have much effect on this.

But the biggest and strange thing found in this study is that there is a deep relationship between the greenery around the residential buildings and the density of minerals in the bones. Due to less greenery around, the risk of reducing the density of minerals in bones was also found to be reduced.
The findings of the study show that if there is 25 percent greenery around 1000 meters of a child’s house, then the risk of low bone density is reduced by 66 percent. In this study, no difference was seen whether the child was a boy or a girl.
Scientists believe that stronger bones mean that a person has more abilities in later life. This clearly shows that those who plan a city or colony etc. should take special care that there is ample greenery around the house.
The interesting thing is that even when researchers made changes in diet, vitamin supplements, income of the area etc., they still got exactly the same results as before. This clearly shows how big and influential a factor the surrounding greenery is on children’s health.
