Can exercise regulate the relationship between noise pollution and the perception of physical and mental health among Chinese adults? An empirical study based on CGSS 2021.
An empirical study explores how exercise moderates noise pollution's impact on physical and mental health in Chinese adults, highlighting public health implications.
Key Points
Regular exercise improves physical health perceptions and mental health perceptions amidst noise pollution.
Individuals experiencing high noise pollution reported statistically lower physical health (β = -0.135) and mental health perceptions (β = -0.151).
Analysis included observational data from 2,717 participants in CGSS 2021, utilizing methods including regression analysis and GLM.
The findings suggest that enhancing exercise participation may mitigate negative health perceptions linked to environmental noise.
