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.

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.  

Human milk is rich in immuno-modulatory factors that have the potential to shape immune development and influence allergy risk in children. In this article, we describe how breast milk may contribute to making the infant less prone to developing allergies.
