Vitamin D irradiance in summer shade and sun
Full text linkPast research has shown that certain shaded environments (e.g. shade umbrellas, gazebos, patios) can be used to obtain the necessary levels of UV exposure for the synthesis of vitamin D. This paper discusses the levels of solar ultraviolet radiation during summer at specific mid latitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and how this relates to the physiologic production of vitamin D in the human body. Specifically, the sites of London (UK) and Hobart (Australia) are utilised. It was found that in summer at these mid latitudes vitamin D synthesis could be initiated in as little as 2 minutes in full sun and 6 minutes when in the shade
Are the current Australian sun exposure guidelines effective in maintaining adequate levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D?
No full textAn adequate vitamin D status, as measured by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration, is important in humans for maintenance of healthy bones and muscle function. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was assessed in participants from Melbourne, Australia (37.81S, 144.96E), who were provided with the current Australian guidelines on sun exposure for 25(OH)D adequacy (25(OH)D ≥50. nmol/L). Participants were interviewed in February (summer, n = 104) and August (winter, n = 99) of 2013. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was examined as a function of measures of sun exposure and sun protection habits with control of key characteristics such as dietary intake of vitamin D, body mass index (BMI) and skin colour, that may modify this relationship. The mean 25(OH)D concentration in participants who complied with the current sun exposure guidelines was 67.3. nmol/L in summer and 41.9. nmol/L in winter. At the end of the study, 69.3% of participants who complied with the summer sun exposure guidelines were 25(OH)D adequate, while only 27.6% of participants who complied with the winter sun exposure guidelines were 25(OH)D adequate at the end of the study. The results suggest that the current Australian guidelines for sun exposure for 25(OH)D adequacy are effective for most in summer and ineffective for most in winter.This article is part of a Special Issue entitled '17th Vitamin D Workshop'. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd

Effect of Knowledge and Attitude toward Sun Exposure Related Vitamin D to Lung Function
Full text linkIndonesia is a country with a tropical climate with sun exposure
throughout the season, because sunlight is the largest source of vitamin
D. The risk of vitamin D deficiency can lead to respiratory problems.
With good self-management, of course, adequate knowledge and
attitudes are needed in overcoming various individual health problems.
The purpose was to influence knowledge and attitudes towards sun
exposure in meeting the need for vitamin D to improve lung function in
healthy respondents without chronic respiratory disorders. The research
will be conducted using a cross sectional design, in May-August 2019.
The variables were knowledge and attitudes towards sun exposure
related to the risk of vitamin D deficiency and lung function by forced
expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC).
Respondents used in this study were 168 respondents. Most of the
respondents had good level of knowledge (97 of 168), and most of the
respondents had good level of attitude (115 of 168). There was
relationship between the level of knowledge (p=0.000) and attitude
(p=0.000) toward sun exposure levels related to vitamin D and lung
function. And there was relationship between the level of knowledge to
attitude on sun exposure levels related to vitamin D (p=0.000).
Therefore, knowledge and attitudes on sun exposure related to vitamin D
were important concerns to maintain healthy lung function
POLAR investigation of the Sun—POLARIS
Full text linkThe POLAR Investigation of the Sun (POLARIS) mission uses a combination of a gravity assist and solar sail propulsion to place a spacecraft in a 0.48 AU circular orbit around the Sun with an inclination of 75° with respect to solar equator. This challenging orbit is made possible by the challenging development of solar sail propulsion. This first extended view of the high-latitude regions of the Sun will enable crucial observations not possible from the ecliptic viewpoint or from Solar Orbiter. While Solar Orbiter would give the first glimpse of the high latitude magnetic field and flows to probe the solar dynamo, it does not have sufficient viewing of the polar regions to achieve POLARIS’s primary objective: determining the relation between the magnetism and dynamics of the Sun’s polar regions and the solar cycle
Vitamin D intake needed to maintain target serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in participants with low sun exposure and dark skin pigmentation is substantially higher than current recommendations
No full textCutaneous cholecalciferol synthesis has not been considered in making recommendations for vitamin D intake. Our objective was to model the effects of sun exposure, vitamin D intake, and skin reflectance (pigmentation) on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) in young adults with a wide range of skin reflectance and sun exposure. Four cohorts of participants (n = 72 total) were studied for 7-8 wk in the fall, winter, spring, and summer in Davis, CA [38.5° N, 121.7° W, Elev. 49 ft (15 m)]. Skin reflectance was measured using a spectrophotometer, vitamin D intake using food records, and sun exposure using polysulfone dosimeter badges. A multiple regression model (R2 = 0.55; P < 0.0001) was developed and used to predict the serum 25(OH)D concentration for participants with low [median for African ancestry (AA)] and high [median for European ancestry (EA)] skin reflectance and with low [20th percentile, ∼20 min/d, ∼18% body surface area (BSA) exposed] and high (80th percentile, ∼90 min/d, ∼35% BSA exposed) sun exposure, assuming an intake of 200 IU/d (5 ug/d). Predicted serum 25(OH)D concentrations for AA individuals with low and high sun exposure in the winter were 24 and 42 nmol/L and in the summer were 40 and 60 nmol/L. Corresponding values for EA individuals were 35 and 60 nmol/L in the winter and in the summer were 58 and 85 nmol/L. To achieve 25(OH)D ≥75 nmol/L, we estimate that EA individuals with high sun exposure need 1300 IU/d vitamin D intake in the winter and AA individuals with low sun exposure need 2100-3100 IU/d year-round. © 2010 American Society for Nutrition
