We developed the iOS smartphone app Sun Safe to support healthy sun practices in young teenagers (aged 12-13 years). The production involved co-design with young co-researchers (ie, aged 12-13 years) with a health message of using sun protection when the UV index is ≥3. Important features include real-time and location-specific weather data on the UV index and gamified educational content.
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.
The aim of this work is to review current metabolic and molecular aspects of the VitD-VitD receptor axis in reproductive medicine
The prevalence of vitamin D-containing supplement use was generally low in the Australian population, particularly for single vitamin D supplements
Associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood in the Raine Study
The strongest determinants of self-reported sun-protection behavior changes due to concerns about vitamin D were attitudes and location
UVB-induced p53-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis are reduced in the presence of heat stress, leading to increased survival of DNA damaged cells
The approach of predicted 25 (OH)D concentration derived from multivariable linear regression may be valid..
This publication demonstrated considerable differences in the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations compared with a certified laboratory, even...
