　　Living among trees, plants and flowers can fill your life with beauty. And if you are a woman, it can also help you live longer.

　　Women who live in homes surrounded by plants appear to have lower death rates than women who live in areas with less green plants, according to a research.

　　Peter James and his team looked at information from one of the largest and oldest investigations of women's health: the Nurses' Health Study.

　　For the new study, the team looked at the death rates of more than 100,000 women between the years 2008 and 2015. Then the researchers compared the death rates of these women to the green plants around their homes. To determine the amount of trees and other vegetation (植被), researchers examined satellite images.

　　To make it more believable, the researchers considered other risk factors - things such as the age of the women, their economic status, and race. They also looked at whether or not the women smoked.

　　Peter James says he and his team were surprised to find such a strong link between high vegetation levels and low death rates. He adds they were also surprised to find how high levels of plant life can affect a woman's mental health.

　　The study suggests that living among vegetation lowered levels of depression. Researchers say women in greener areas spent more time with other people, exercised more and were less exposed to air pollution.

　　One of the biggest effects of greenery appeared to be a lowered risk of cancer. Here are some numbers. The study found that women living in the greenest areas had a 13 percent lower rate of dying from cancer.

James says that it is common knowledge that vegetation helps the environment in many ways. But, he adds, the new findings suggest ways for city planners, landscape architects and policymakers to grow even healthier living areas.
