Methods:

• Paste quoted text from the Methods section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks or a bullet mark:

“In this study, we conducted two separate cross-sectional analyses using two different mental health indicators, one collected in the 2018 follow-up questionnaire and another in the 2019 follow-up questionnaire. This study design does not aim to evaluate changes in mental health over time but rather to examine associations between surrounding greenness and two distinct, yet related, mental health outcomes, allowing to test the robustness of the results.”

• Write your translation on the next line:

Two aspects of mental health, which are different but also related to each other, were examined through questionnaires regarding how the surrounding greenness can affect them. 

Introduction:

• Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

 “Mental illnesses are increasingly recognized as major challenge associated with urbanization and development, and addressing mental health is a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 (WHO, 2018). “

• Write your translation on the next line:

As people move from rural areas to cities and big cities develop, mental health has become a very important issue which needs to be addressed for future sustainable development.

Results:

• Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

“The majority of participants lived in peri-urban areas (41.0 %), followed by urban areas (25.0 %), rural areas (19.0 %), and Paris (15.0 %). Participants from more urbanized areas tended to have higher levels of education and income.”

• Write your translation on the next line:

In the study participants are from Paris, urban areas, rural areas, and peri-urban areas. People  from urban areas may receive higher level of education and have higher income.

Discussion:

• Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

“Our findings align with previous studies, suggesting a protective role of surrounding greenness on mental health in urban dwellers (Dadvand et al., 2016; Song et al., 2019). However, this association was not observed in rural areas in our study.”

• Write your translation on the next line:

According to the findings, surrounding greenness have positive effects on mental health for urban people, but not obviously on residents of rural areas.

Future Directions:

• What future research should follow up on this work?

In future, the research regarding how surrounding greenness can affect the people who move from rural areas to urban areas. What changes of mental health conditions are observed after their moving?
