A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
Research has shown that vitamin D levels can have an impact on many aspects of a child's health, including lung growth, language development and eating patterns
Australian researchers have found that exposure to measured doses of ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, could reduce asthma.
In a sunny country such as Australia, it’s important to identify how to achieve the right amount of sun exposure for good health. We need to be able to harness the benefits of vitamin D and sunlight while remaining protected from the proven dangers of too much UV radiation.
Vitamin D has been recognized to have a significant impact on modulating immune response in the host body. The relationship between deficiency of Vitamin D and rectovaginal colonization with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women is still not well understood.
Carcinogenic effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) with reference to skin cancer are the basis of widely implemented recommendations to avoid sun exposure. Whether the benefits of "restrictive sun policies" outweigh their potential harms due to diminished beneficial effects of sunlight exposure remain a matter of controversy.
These data highlight that early life levels of vitamin D are an important consideration for maternal behavioural adaptations as well as offspring neuropsychiatry
Skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation alters the faecal microbiome, and further investigations to explore the implications of this in health and disease are warranted
Epidemiological evidence from the past decade suggests a role of vitamin D in food allergy pathogenesis
The aim of this work is to review current metabolic and molecular aspects of the VitD-VitD receptor axis in reproductive medicine
