Research by The Kids Research Institute Australia shows a link between low vitamin D during pregnancy and post-natal depression.

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research have found that small regular doses of sunlight suppress the develo

A link between chronic lung disease and low Vitamin D levels is the focus of a new study just started by the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

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.

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.

The dramatic rise in allergic disease has occurred in tandem with recent environmental changes and increasing indoor lifestyle culture. While multifactorial, one consistent allergy risk factor has been reduced sunlight exposure. However, vitamin D supplementation studies have been disappointing in preventing allergy, raising possible independent effects of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure.

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.
