Description
Irene Marcilla-Toribio leads a team linking distance to urban parks with psychological resilience in Spanish adults in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Nearly three thousand adults from primary care centers across nine regions completed a validated resilience scale, and the distance from home to the nearest park was calculated. Analyses adjusted for age, education, income, marital status, social support, and mental health.
People living farthest from a park scored lower on resilience than those living close or at middle distance. Each increase in distance tracked slightly lower resilience overall. Split by sex, the association was clear in men and absent in women. The authors highlight accessible urban green space as a possible support for mental resilience, with attention to gender differences in how that benefit appears.
