      Adults.

AB  - Greenness exposure is nominated as a potential beneficial factor for health, but 
      evidence is limited on its diabetes effects. We conducted a cross-sectional study 
      between May and September 2016 in rural areas of northwestern China, including 
      4670 Uyghur adults, to explore the associations between residential greenness and 
      fasting glucose levels and diabetes prevalence. Fasting glucose levels were 
      determined, and information on covariates was collected by questionnaire. 
      Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and soil-adjusted vegetation index 
      (SAVI) were calculated to assess greenness levels. Generalized linear mixed 
      models were applied to evaluate the associations of greenness with fasting 
      glucose levels and diabetes prevalence. The prevalence of diabetes was 11.6%. We 
      found that living in rural areas characterized by increased amounts of greenness 
      was associated with reduced diabetes prevalence (e.g., NDVI(1000m): OR, 0.92; 95% 
      CI, 0.86, 0.99). Stratified analyses showed that the protective effects of 
      greenness on diabetes prevalence were found only in women (NDVI(1000m): OR, 0.90; 
      95% CI, 0.82, 0.99). However, none of the interaction was statistically 
      significant. Our study suggests that greater residential greenness levels were 
      associated with a lower odds ratio of diabetes prevalence in Xinjiang Uyghur 
      adults. Further well-designed longitudinal studies are needed to confirm our 
      findings.
