Vitamin D status in Norwegian children and adolescents with excess body weightZoya Lagunova
Department of Radiation Biology, Oslo University Hospital, The Norwegian Radium Hospital, 0310 Oslo, Norway
Pediatr Diabetes 12:120-6. 2011..A high body mass index (BMI) is associated with a low vitamin D status. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in Norwegian children and adolescents with excess body weight...
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is a predictor of serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in overweight and obese patientsZoya Lagunova
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, 0310 Oslo, Norway
J Nutr 141:112-7. 2011..Therefore, it may also be valuable to measure both serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)(2)D for the evaluation of vitamin D status in overweight and obese persons...
Obesity and increased risk of cancer: does decrease of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level with increasing body mass index explain some of the association?Zoya Lagunova
Department of Radiation Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway
Mol Nutr Food Res 54:1127-33. 2010..The contribution of low 25(OH)D to the increased cancer risk with increasing BMI may be different for different cancer types. Thus, we find 40% for breast cancer, and 26 and 75% for colorectal cancer in men and women, respectively...
The dependency of vitamin D status on body mass index, gender, age and seasonZoya Lagunova
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, 0310 Oslo, Norway
Anticancer Res 29:3713-20. 2009..Recently, overweight and obesity have been shown to be related to low vitamin D status...
Sunbeds as vitamin D sourcesJohan Moan
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet Medical Center, Montebello, Oslo, Norway
Photochem Photobiol 85:1474-9. 2009....
Colon cancer: prognosis for different latitudes, age groups and seasons in NorwayJohan Moan
Department of Radiation Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, Montebello, 0310 Oslo, Norway
J Photochem Photobiol B 89:148-55. 2007..The seasonal effect was slightly, but not significantly, better for the younger than for the older age group. The effect was similar for all three geographical regions, irrespective of SCC incidence...
Solar radiation, vitamin D and cancer incidence and mortality in NorwayJohan Moan
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet HF, Oslo, Norway
Anticancer Res 29:3501-9. 2009....
Seasonal variation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and its association with body mass index and ageJohan Moan
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet Medical Centre, Oslo, Norway
J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 113:217-21. 2009..Furthermore, there seems to be a correlation between the levels of the two vitamin D metabolites, indicating that the regulation of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D is not always tight, notably in persons with high BMI...
Prostate cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosisZoya Lagunova
Department of Radiation Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, Montebello, Oslo, Norway
Prostate 67:1362-70. 2007..More recently, both prostate cancer incidence and mortality have been shown to increase with increasing latitude, which probably relates to photosynthesis of vitamin D...
The seasonality of pandemic and non-pandemic influenzas: the roles of solar radiation and vitamin DAsta Juzeniene
Department of Radiation Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, The Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo University Hospital, Montebello, N 0310 Oslo, Norway
Int J Infect Dis 14:e1099-105. 2010..Seasonal variations in ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation cause seasonal variations in vitamin D status. This may influence immune responses and play a role in the seasonality of influenza...
Sun and sun beds: inducers of vitamin D and skin cancerEmanuela Cicarma
Department of Radiation Biology, Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet HF, Oslo, Norway
Anticancer Res 29:3495-500. 2009..Populations living at high latitudes would probably benefit from moderately increasing their exposure to UVB to provide a good vitamin D status...
Changes in risk of death from breast cancer with season and latitude: sun exposure and breast cancer survival in NorwayAlina Carmen Porojnicu
Department of Radiation Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, Montebello, 0310 Oslo, Norway
Breast Cancer Res Treat 102:323-8. 2007..The overall data support our earlier hypothesis that season of diagnosis and therapy start improves the survival for breast cancer...
