Public health PhD candidate Chinonso Odebiatu from the University of Queensland analyzed data from nearly 280,000 people aged 37 to 73 in England, Scotland and Wales from 2006 to 2010.
A study published in the journal Science of The Total Environment found that having a personal garden around the home was associated with a reduced risk of cancer, especially breast and uterine cancer.
Scientists noted that green areas around the home offer people opportunities to engage in physical activity, increase vitamin D levels and reduce the effects of air pollution.
