Predictors of user satisfaction with forest healing services differ by health status
Objective Forest healing is increasingly recognized as a public health resource; however, empirical evidence remains limited on how the predictors of service satisfaction vary across users with different health profiles. This study investigated health-status-specific predictors of satisfaction with forest healing services across Korea's national Healing Forest sites. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among participants from 20 Healin…

Additional interventions for enhancing the quality-of-life of older adults using hearing aids
Hearing loss in older adults substantially affects quality of life. Although hearing aids improve hearing, their effects vary. Combining hearing aids with additional interventions may offer added benefits, yet it remains unclear which quality-of-life domains benefit most. This systematic review examined the effects of hearing aids plus supplementary interventions, compared with hearing aids alone, on quality-of-life outcomes. Randomized controlle…
Outdoor Garden Activities may Increase the Function of Prefrontal Cortex in Cognitively Impaired Older Adults
Background and objective: With the rising prevalence of dementia in aging societies, there is an urgent need for effective, non-invasive interventions to support cognitive function and emotional stability. Gardening, a nature-based activity, has demonstrated potential to enhance mental and physical well-being, yet its direct impact on prefrontal cortex function remains largely unclear. This study investigates the effects of outdoor gardening acti…
Biophilic Design and Restorative Effects
The rapid increases in urbanization and time spent in built indoor environments have sparked significant concerns about their impact on human health and well-being. People who spend long hours in enclosed and highly artificial settings, such as hospital workers, are especially vulnerable to environmental stressors. This study examined whether applying biophilic (i.e., human tendency to connect with nature and other lifeforms) spatial design withi…
Age-specific association between meal-skipping patterns and the risk of hyperglycemia in Korean adults
This study demonstrates age-specific variations in the association between meal-skipping patterns and the risk of hyperglycemia
Effects of Green Walls on Prefrontal Cerebral Hemodynamics in Hospital Workers
Background and objective: Artificial environments have been known to negatively affect neuropsychological activities. Healthcare workers who are under high psychological and physiological stress often spend long hours at a time. Recently, many studies have been conducted to reveal the healing effects of natural environments, but few studies have been conducted on healthcare workers. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of green wa…
Pilot Study on the Physio-psychological Effects of Botanical Gardens on the Prefrontal Cortex Activity in an Adult Male Group
Background and objective: With modern lifestyles and the increasing severity of stress-related diseases, the availability and accessibility of the natural environment are critical. Botanical gardens in an urban area can provide opportunities for city dwellers to experience nature and enjoy stress-reducing activities. This study focused on the health-related effects of botanical gardens by investigating prefrontal cortical activity and changes in …
Effects of Green Space in an Apartment Complex on the Environmental Cognition and Stress Response of Residents
Background and objective With an increasing interest in health-related issues in urban environments, there has been growing attention to the relationship between green space and psychological states of residents in apartment complexes. This study investigated resident perceptions of green space and their stress responses in an apartment complex. Methods The psychological stress responses that arose during residents’ observation of two types of en…
Gender-common and gender-specific determinants of child dietary diversity in eight Asia Pacific countries
Background: Optimal child feeding practices contribute to reducing child undernutrition in low- and middle-income countries. Minimum dietary diversity (MDD) is a key indicator of complementary feeding quality for children aged 6-23 months. We aimed to examine the gender-common and gender-specific factors associated with the failure to meet MDD in eight Asia Pacific countries. Methods: The study used data of children aged 6-23 months from the Demo…
Effects of Vegetation Structure on Psychological Restoration in an Urban Rooftop Space
Connectedness to nature has been recognized as an important factor for well-being, with rooftop green spaces being used for stress reduction in modern cities. This study aimed to examine psychological and physiological responses to three different vegetation models on an urban rooftop. An analysis of psychological parameters indicated that the existence of vegetation in rooftop spaces could have positive effects on mood states, and the size of th…

Psychological and Physiological Responses to Different Views through a Window in Apartment Complexes
Background and objective With increasing land use intensity in urban areas, apartment buildings have been recognized as a typical type of urban residence. In this study, the impacts of different views through a window on health-related responses were investigated using psychological and physiological parameters. Methods Photos of three different types of views taken on low (2–12 m), middle (28–35 m), and high (over 54 m) floors of dense apartment…
Association Between Diet Quality and Prevalence of Obesity, Dyslipidemia, and Insulin Resistance Among Filipino Immigrant Women in Korea
Objectives: Diet quality may be a key modifiable factor for the prevention of non-communicable disease. We aimed to investigate the association between diet quality and prevalence of obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance among Filipino immigrant women in Korea. Methods: A total of 413 participants from the 2014–2016 baseline population of the Filipino Women's Diet and Health Study (FiLWHEL) were examined. Individual dietary intakes were e…
