Early infancy oral vitamin D supplementation does not appear to reduce the development of early childhood allergic disease
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension. Epidemiological studies have associated preeclampsia with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, such as autism and schizophrenia. Preeclampsia has also been linked with maternal vitamin D deficiency, another candidate risk factor also associated with autism.
This study aimed to describe the vitamin D status of pregnant women in Western Australia and identify predictors of deficiency in pregnancy. A cross-sectional study was conducted using linked data from statewide administrative data collections.
A balanced approach toward sun exposure and protection is needed by young people. Excessive sun exposure increases their risk for skin cancers such as melanoma, whereas some exposure is necessary for vitamin D and healthy bones. We have developed a new iOS smartphone app-Sun Safe-through a co-design process, which aims to support healthy and balanced decision-making by young teenagers (aged 12-13 years).
New research has found that children of mums who had low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy are twice as likely to have language difficulties.
Research has discovered the first concrete evidence linking Vitamin D deficiency with poorer lung function and changes in lung growth.

Like all of us, Dr Shelley Gorman grew up with the 'slip, slop, slap' message. And for good reason, Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world.
