      abstract = {Natural amenities like green open space are a valuable  resource to support quality of life and public health.  However, limited studies have analyzed the relationship  between such resources and specific indicators of public  health. We investigate the relationship between natural  green space and publicly managed recreation lands and adult  obesity prevalence in United States counties. We find that  counties with larger percentage of green spaces and those  with access to public open space, such as state and  national parks do have significantly fewer numbers of obese  people.},
