A revised action spectrum for vitamin D synthesis by suberythemal UV radiation exposure in humans in vivo

Antony R. Young et al.

Summary: The validity of the action spectrum for cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D3 has been questioned, with in vivo testing showing it does not accurately predict serum 25(OH)D3 levels. This suggests that previous risk/benefit analyses based on ex vivo data need revision.

Validation of a satellite-based solar UV-A radiation dosimeter for mobile healthcare applications

M. Morelli et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method for near real-time monitoring of solar UV A radiation dose based on Earth Observation satellites imagery, showing good correlation between satellite-derived exposure doses and ground measurements under different weather conditions, particularly for clear skies. The method may be integrated into digital mobile apps for healthcare to assist users in balancing the risks and benefits of sun exposure.

Physical Determinants of Vitamin D Photosynthesis: A Review

Jonathan J. Neville et al.

Summary: The synthesis of vitamin D depends on the quantity and quality of UVB reaching the skin, which is also responsible for adverse effects like sunburn and DNA damage. However, UVB exposure is essential for maintaining optimal health and reducing blood pressure.

Vitamin D status and prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in different genders throughout life stages: A Brazilian cross-sectional study

Lenora M. Camarate S. M. Leao et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the mean concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] and the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in individuals residing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Children had higher levels of vitamin D compared to adolescents and women, highlighting the need for strategies to prevent hypovitaminosis D, particularly in seniors.
