Research by The Kids Research Institute Australia shows a link between low vitamin D during pregnancy and post-natal depression.
Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research have found that small regular doses of sunlight suppress the develo
The important role of vitamin D in early development is the focus of research that has uncovered links between vitamin D levels and healthy growth of the baby d
A link between chronic lung disease and low Vitamin D levels is the focus of a new study just started by the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
Research has shown that vitamin D levels can have an impact on many aspects of a child's health, including lung growth, language development and eating patterns
Australian researchers have found that exposure to measured doses of ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, could reduce asthma.
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.
Low vitamin D intake and prevalence of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration <50 nmol/L among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples highlight a need for public health strategies to improve vitamin D status. Since few foods contain naturally occurring vitamin D, food fortification could be a suitable strategy. We aimed to model vitamin D food fortification scenarios among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
There is a greater prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological autoimmune condition, in populations living further from the equator, hypothesised to be due to reduced sunlight exposure. There exists a proven sunlight surrogate therapy for dermatological inflammatory conditions, in the form of narrowband NB-UVB phototherapy. Yet, there is a paucity of randomized trials of the therapeutic delivery of NB-UVB beyond dermatology for conditions with a systemic inflammatory component.
