Mapping the citation network on vitamin D research in Australia: a data-driven approach

Vitamin D research can vary geographically, as vitamin D status is influenced by latitude, season, dietary intake, body mass index, ethnicity, and public health initiatives. Over the last two decades, research on vitamin D has increased in Australia, where the potential for sun exposure (a major source of vitamin D) is high. We aimed to identify key topics and gaps in vitamin D research in Australia using a data-driven approach.

An Exploratory Study of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentration and Psychological Distress Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia

The colonisation of Australia around 250 years ago left a significant enduring impact on the mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Vitamin D may play a role in modulating mental health as its receptors are present in the brain regions associated with mood and behaviour regulation.

Genome-wide association study of vitamin D levels in children: replication in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) study

This genome-wide association study (GWAS) utilises data from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study for 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels...

Incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer in relation to ambient UV radiation in white populations, 1978-2012 empirical relationships

This paper examined dose-response relationships between ambient UVR levels and NMSC incidence at the population level.

Myopia is associated with lower vitamin D status in young adults

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between vitamin D levels in the blood and short-sightedness in young adults.

Novel drug targets for asthma and COPD: Lessons learned from in vitro and in vivo models

This paper is a review of potential novel therapeutic targets or tools for the treatment of asthma and COPD.

Ultraviolet radiation exposure and serum vitamin D levels in young children

This paper examined the link between UV exposure and vitamin D production in young children to determine how long it takes for sun exposure to affect serum...

Maternal vitamin D status during pregnancy and bone mass in offspring at 20 years of age: A prospective cohort study

This longitudinal, prospective study investigated the association between maternal vitamin D status and peak bone mass of offspring in 341 mother and...

Solar ultraviolet radiation in a changing climate

This review article examines risks and benefits of exposure to ultraviolet radiation for the environment and human welfare.
