Such correlation has been shown in Asian populations in some studies,\u201d the authors wrote. An international team submitted the paper, led by Dr. Wanqing Chen, Dr, Mark Clements and Australian researcher Dr. Bruce Armstrong  Their study supported the findings of previous papers. \u201cMortality from all cancers together and most major cancers in China was inversely associated with solar UVB. These associations were similar to those observed in a number of populations of European origin. Incidence of some cancer types had the same correlation with UVB. They suggest the possibility that vitamin D may reduce the incidence or improve the outcome of cancer in Chinese people,\u201d they wrote.  Medical News Today reported, \u201cSurvey results of the study led by Wanqing Chen suggest that the sunshine vitamin that the body creates naturally in response to ultraviolet rays might lower the incidence rates or improve the outcomes of cancer amongst the Chinese population. The findings also demonstrate that industrialization and a lack of sun exposure go hand in hand.\u201d  The study, \u201cRelationship between cancer mortality\/incidence and ambient ultraviolet B irradiance in China\u201d is on PubMed by clicking here.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan-Logo.jpg","thumbnail_width":520,"thumbnail_height":200}
