Residential Greenness and Risk of Coronary Artery Disease Following COVID‐19: A Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea

Key Points

To investigate the relationship between residential greenness and the risk of coronary artery disease following COVID-19.
Nationwide cohort study conducted in South Korea
Analyzed associations between residential greenness and coronary artery disease events
Considered acute and chronic cardiovascular outcomes post-COVID-19
No significant association found between residential greenness and post-COVID acute coronary events
Lower risk of chronic ischemic heart disease was consistently associated with higher levels of greenness
Findings suggest potential long-term cardiovascular health benefits from residential greenness

Abstract

Residential greenness was not associated with post-COVID acute coronary events but was consistently associated with lower chronic ischemic heart disease risk, suggesting a potential role in long-term cardiovascular health after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
