University of Tokyo and Sekisui House Launch Joint Research on Biodiversity and Health

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, December 6, 2022

In 2020, the Laboratory investigated how two means of interacting with nature -- the frequency of green space use and viewing greenery from the windows of homes -- affect the mental health of urban residents (self-esteem, life satisfaction, happiness, symptoms of depression/anxiety, and loneliness). The results of this research showed that not only people who frequently use green spaces, but also those who live in houses with green view reported better mental health (*2). This suggests that people can benefit from the psychological effects of nature from within their own homes even if they are not physically present in green spaces.

Key Points: 
  • TOKYO, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences (GSALS) and Sekisui House, Ltd. launched a joint research project on biodiversity and human health on December 1, 2022, to investigate the benefits that biodiversity and urban natural environments have on human health and well-being.
  • The Laboratory has been studying the relationship between nature and human health since 2016, and its research indicates that interactions with nature can lead to improved human health and well-being.
  • The Laboratory is conducting research to test five hypotheses regarding the relationship between human health and interactions with nature under the themes of mental health, physical health, cognitive functions, and community health.
  • This is, however, a long-term joint research project that will later also look at community health and other themes related to health.
