But the new research, which followed nearly 30,000 women over 20 years, suggests that women who stay out of the sun are at increased risk of skin melanomas and are twice as likely to die from any cause, including cancer. The results of this study clearly showed that mortality was about double in women who avoided sun exposure compared to the highest exposure group,” said lead author Dr Pelle Lindqvist. “Sun exposure advice which is very restrictive in countries with low solar intensity might in fact be harmful for women’s health. “The mortality rate was increased two-fold among avoiders of sun exposure as compared to those with the highest sun exposure habits.” Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality: results from the Melanoma in Southern Sweden cohort onlinelibrary.wiley/store/10.1111/joim.12251/asset/joim12251.pdf?v=1&t=hvtv0svp&s=9cabdf55ad5c59201f3a13227285252fe3ed55bb Results. There were 2545 deaths amongst the 29518 women who responded to the initial questionnaire. We found that all-cause mortality was inversely related to sun exposure habits. The mortality rate amongst avoiders of sun exposure was approximately twofold higher compared with the highest sun exposure group, resulting in excess mortality with a population attributable risk of 3%. Conclusion. The results of this study provide observational evidence that avoiding sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality. Following sun exposure advice that is very restrictive in countries with low solar intensity might in fact be harmful to women’s health. ========= Unsaturated Fats and Age Pigment functionalps/blog/2012/04/23/unsaturated-fats-and-age-pigment/ Part 2: Skin cancers — And Ultraviolet radiation functionalps/blog/2011/04/21/part-2-skin-cancers-%E2%80%94-and-ultraviolet-radiation/ Sunlight Information: Skin Cancers and Vitamin D functionalps/blog/2011/04/21/sunlight-information-skin-cancers-and-vitamin-d/ Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS), Vitamin D, and Cancer functionalps/blog/2012/01/05/fatty-acid-synthase-fas/ Light is Right functionalps/blog/2011/09/30/light-is-right/ Using Sunlight to Sustain Life functionalps/blog/2012/02/27/using-sunlight-to-sustain-life/ Cardiolipin, Cytochrome Oxidase, Metabolism, & Aging functionalps/blog/2012/07/04/cytochrome-oxidase-and-cardiolipin/ Light as medicine?
