The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers are developing a mobile phone app that will give you tailored advice for your skin type.

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.

Project D-Light aims to understand and harness the benefits of vitamin D and sunlight for Australian children while protecting them from excess UV.

Research from Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research shows that symptoms of depression in young men may be associated with low vitamin D levels.

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.

Vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration <50 nmol/l) is recognised as a public health problem globally. The present study details the prevalence and predictors of vitamin D deficiency in a nationally representative sample (n 3250) of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults aged ≥18 years. We used data from the 2012-2013 Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (AATSIHS). Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem MS.

Early infancy oral vitamin D supplementation does not appear to reduce the development of early childhood allergic disease

When combined with physical activity, low-dose UVR may more effectively limit adiposity and modulate metabolic and immune pathways in iBAT

To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type
