Australian researchers have found that exposure to measured doses of ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, could reduce asthma.
Felix was one of 195 children to take part in Dr Debbie Palmer’s research into sunlight exposure, vitamin D and eczema.
For decades Aussies have been told to minimise sun exposure to prevent skin cancer - now researchers at Telethon Kids are challenging that message.
The Kids researcher Dr Shelley Gorman has received a Healthway grant to develop an online tool to promote safe sun behaviours to teenagers.
Researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia are continuing to hone in on the effects of ultraviolet radiation and vitamin D on the immune system.
The D-Light program, set up in 2014, aims to shed light on the amount of sun exposure that will promote good health in children and adolescents.
The dramatic increase in the prevalence of allergic disease in recent decades reflects environmental and behavioural changes that have altered patterns of early immune development. The very early onset of allergic diseases points to the specific vulnerability of the developing immune system to environmental changes and the development of primary intervention strategies is crucial to address this unparalleled burden.
The proportion of 25(OH)D3 that undergoes epimerization is greater with oral vitamin D3 supplementation than exposure to UVR in mice, but not in humans
Skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation alters the faecal microbiome, and further investigations to explore the implications of this in health and disease are warranted
Epidemiological evidence from the past decade suggests a role of vitamin D in food allergy pathogenesis
