Project description
We are determining the nature of the relationships between sun exposure and the risk for developing metabolic dysfunction in a number of patient- and community-based cohorts, including the Raine Study (20 year-old follow-up). We are using questionnaires to quantify sun exposure and/or other proxies of sun exposure (such as season, or eye autofluorescence).
