Testing the stress-buffering claims of nature-based biopsychosocial resilience theory
Background The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that greater nature contact is associated with higher resilience to daily stressors, which in turn is associated lower psychological distress. Methods In this cross-sectional study, home interviews were conducted in 2024 with a representative sample of 1506 adults (53.32% female; age 18-94 years) residing in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Nature contact included the availability of urban green/blue …
Evidence-Based Policy for Urban Environmental Health
Background: Translating urban environmental health evidence into actionable policies remains challenging in South-Eastern Europe, where environmental epidemiology has yet to reach maturity and institutional capacity and cross-sector coordination are suboptimal. This study assessed stakeholders’ awareness, perceived roles, and prioritization of urban health challenges, alongside the barriers and evidence needs related to healthy and sustainable ur…
Does nature make us less lonely? Analysis in Bulgaria's five largest cities
Our findings underscore the importance of extending and improving structured urban green spaces in Bulgarian cities
Does greenery experienced indoors and outdoors provide an escape and support mental health during the Covid-19 quarantine?
University Students’ Self-Rated Health in Relation to Perceived Acoustic Environment during the Covid-19 Home Quarantine
These findings suggest a role of positive indoor soundscape and restorative quality for promoting self-rated health in times of social distancing
Urban residential greenspace and mental health in youth
Multiple pathways link urban green- and bluespace to mental health in young adults
Lower Noise Annoyance Associated with GIS-Derived Greenspace
Growing amounts of evidence support an association between self-reported greenspace near the home and lower noise annoyance; however, objectively defined greenspace has rarely been considered. In the present study, we tested the association between objective measures of greenspace and noise annoyance, with a focus on underpinning pathways through noise level and perceived greenspace. We sampled 720 students aged 18 to 35 years from the city of Pl…

P2-438 Ethnic and age differences in the incidence of tuberculosis in Bulgaria
One-third of the world's population is infected with TB. TB is debilitating and contagious. Every year, more than 9 million people develop active TB and 1.7 million people die from the disease. In Bulgaria incidence was 25.1/100 000 in 1990. Due to various reasons, related to socio-economic changes in the country in the following years a doubling of the cases of tuberculosis up to 49.9/100 000 was observed in 1998. Recently there has been a tende…
