Laboratory confirmation of the effect of occupational sun exposure on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration. Vitamin D deficiency: a worldwide problem with health consequences. Hoel DG, Berwick M, de Gruijl FR, Holick MF. Addressing the health benefits and risks, involving vitamin D or skin cancer, of increased sun exposure. Moan J, Porojnicu AC, Dahlback A, Setlow RB. Papers of particular interest, published recently, have been highlighted as: For example, tree-shaded spaces might encourage more participation in outside activities and thereby favor vitamin D synthesis by the skin. Nature-based solutions (NbS) that can mitigate climate change will become increasingly important for preventing hypovitaminosis D. There are gaps regarding values and timing of exposure to UV radiation required for adequate vitamin D synthesis considering skin color, geography, climate, and local irradiation. Research quantifying sunlight exposure necessary for adequate vitamin D synthesis in people with darker skin color and those people living at low latitudes are scarce, as are studies in urban populations that may have limited opportunity for sunlight exposure. Studies focus mainly on seasonality and latitude. There is growing interest in the association between the environment and vitamin D, but robust methods to understand this relationship are lacking. To conduct a systematic review of studies to investigate the association between climate and vitamin D in humans.
