Risk–benefit balance of habitual ultraviolet exposure for cardiovascular, cancer, and skin cancer mortality: UK Biobank cohort study

This prospective UK Biobank cohort study assessed habitual ultraviolet exposure using a multidimensional Sun-BEEM score and related it to cause-specific mortality and disease incidence. Medium and high UV exposure were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and non-skin cancer mortality compared with low…

The association between time spent outdoors during daylight and mortality among participants of the Adventist Health Study 2 Cohort

This cohort study examined time spent outdoors during daylight and mortality in 83,205 Adventist Health Study 2 participants followed through 2015. Warmer-month daylight outdoor time showed reverse J-shaped associations with all-cause, CVD, and noncancer non-CVD mortality, with moderate exposure (e.g., 2 hours/day vs…

Higher ultraviolet light exposure is associated with lower mortality: An analysis of data from the UK biobank cohort study

This cohort analysis examined associations between two ultraviolet (UV) exposure measures (solarium use and residential shortwave radiation) and mortality in older UK Biobank participants. Both UV exposure measures were reported to be inversely associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, and…
