Sun exposure is associated with several ophthalmic diseases, including pterygium which may develop in adolescence.
Birth cohort studies provide an invaluable resource for studies of the influence of the fetal environment on health in later life.
This review highlights significant gaps in research pertaining to sun exposure and type 2 diabetes mellitus related outcomes
Season and latitude modify the relationship between ambient ultraviolet radiation and personal ultraviolet radiation exposure
UVR or sunlight exposure may be an effective means of suppressing the development of obesity and MetS, through mechanisms that are independent of vitamin D
This genome-wide association study (GWAS) utilises data from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study for 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels...
This paper examined dose-response relationships between ambient UVR levels and NMSC incidence at the population level.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension. Epidemiological studies have associated preeclampsia with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, such as autism and schizophrenia. Preeclampsia has also been linked with maternal vitamin D deficiency, another candidate risk factor also associated with autism.
This study aimed to describe the vitamin D status of pregnant women in Western Australia and identify predictors of deficiency in pregnancy. A cross-sectional study was conducted using linked data from statewide administrative data collections.
Cells of the skin and circulation are in constant two-way communication. Following exposure of humans to sunlight or to phototherapy, there are alterations in the number, phenotype and function of circulating blood cells.
