We aimed to examine associations between ultraviolet (UV) exposure and mortality among older adults in the United Kingdom (UK). We used data from UK Biobank participants with two UV exposures, validated with measured vitamin D levels: solarium use and annual average residential shortwave radiation. Associations between the UV exposures, all-cause and cause-specific mortality were examined as adjusted hazard ratios. The UV exposures were inversely associated with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality. Solarium users were also at a lower risk of non-CVD/non-cancer mortality. The benefits of UV exposure may outweigh the risks in low-sunlight countries.
我们旨在研究英国（UK）老年人的紫外线（UV）暴露与死亡率之间的关系。我们使用了英国生物库参与者的两个紫外线暴露数据，并用测量的维生素 D 水平进行了验证：日光浴使用和年度平均住宅短波辐射。紫外线暴露与全因死亡率和死因特异性死亡率之间的关系被作为调整后的危险比进行了研究。紫外线暴露与全因、心血管疾病（CVD）和癌症死亡率呈负相关。日光浴使用者的非 CVD/非癌症死亡率也较低。在低阳光国家，紫外线暴露的益处可能超过风险。
