Holmberg S, Rignell-Hydbom A, Lindh Ch. H, Jönsson B, Thelin A, Rylander L. High levels of vitamin D associated with less ischemic heart disease -a nested case-control study among rural men in Sweden. Ann Agric Environ Med. 2017; 24(2): 288-293. AbstractIntroduction and objective. Low levels of serum vitamin D have been associated with increased occurrence of ischemic heart disease (IHD), but findings are inconsistent, e.g. seasonal variation is not always considered in the analyses. The aim of this study was to investigate whether vitamin D is associated with IHD among rural middle-aged men in Sweden when seasonal variation is taken into account. Materials and method. A nested case-control study was performed within a population-based cohort of Swedish farmers and rural residents followed for 20 years. Outcomes were from national health registers. For 276 cases (IHD at any time during follow-up), and for 276 aged-matched controls free of cardiovascular diseases or diabetes, serum levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 ) were analyzed with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), in stored blood samples drawn at the baseline survey in 1990-91. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of IHD for vitamin D-quartiles (based on measured as well as adjusted for month of sampling) was evaluated in logistic regression models; potential confounders were taken into account. Results. The measured mean vitamin D levels were 27.6 ng/ml(standard deviation (sd)8.2 ng/ml) and 28.8 ng/ml (sd 9.0) among cases and controls, respectively. Compared to the quartile with the lowest month-adjusted vitamin D levels, the risk of IHD was significantly lower in the highest quartile (OR=0.46, 95% CI 0.25-0.84, p=0.012) in the fully-adjusted model. Conclusion. Rural Swedish men in the highest quartile of serum vitamin D had halved relative risk of IHD, compared to those in the lowest quartile.

“…The use of sunbeds (never, 1-3 times per year, 4-10 times per year, more than 10 times per year) was included as one of the 4 questions to score the skin exposure habits. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, smoking, marital status, educational level, disposable income and comorbidity, BMI and physical exercise showed a reduced risk for all-cause mortality in sunbed users compared to non-users (HR= 0.87, 95% CI 0.8-0.98) (Lindqvist et al, 2014). The cohort is not representative for the Swedish population.…”

“…Other observational studies in humans mainly suggest a protective effect of higher sun or UVR exposure in reducing the risk of obesity and metabolic disease. Swedish women (n=24,098, MISS Study), who had active sunbathing habits, or who used sun beds had a reduced risk of type-2 diabetes, 84 thromboembolic events (which usually peak in winter 85 ) and allcause mortality 86 after adjusting for exercise and other confounders. Other studies have assessed the nature of the associations between obesity and outcomes of excessive sun exposure like skin cancer.…”

Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for all‐cause mortality: results from the Melanoma in Southern Sweden cohort

Abstract: Background. Sunlight exposure and fair skin are major determinants of human vitamin D production, but they are also risk factors for cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM). There is epidemiological evidence that all-cause mortality is related to low vitamin D levels.
