Self-rated health and perceived environmental quality in Brunei Darussalam: a cross-sectional study
Summary
Researchers found in a cross-sectional study in Brunei Darussalam that perceived environmental quality is associated with self-rated health, but that regular physical exercise may partially offset the negative health effects of poor environmental conditions.
This study suggests that environmental quality has an important role in SRH. However, a healthy lifestyle measured with frequency of physical exercise seems to compensate for the adverse environmental effects on SRH.
