To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type
Both human and murine studies report that multiple exposures to sub-erythemal UV radiation can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome
Emerging preclinical findings suggest that some sun exposure is necessary for optimal metabolic health
Here we review the metabolic effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, focusing on the effects of phototherapies
This review focuses primarily on the beneficial effects for human health of exposure to ultraviolet radiation
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.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the small and large conducting airway mucosa characterised by Th2 cell immunity.
Teachers play a vital role in developing children's sun protection routines however upskilling preservice teachers (PSTs) while at university has not yet been trialled as a targeted skin cancer prevention strategy. Hence, this study investigated PSTs perceptions and experiences of sun safety following a brief pilot intervention and placement in primary schools in Western Australia.
