> significant reduction in all cause mortality and in cardiovascular mortality associated with several measures of sun exposure.> ultraviolet exposure from tanning beds is associated with a significant increase in all cause mortality and cancer mortality.> Such a finding is curious and inconsistent with a vitamin D hypothesis.So UV radiation alone seems to be associated with higher mortality, while sunlight exposure is associated with lower mortality. While UV is important for the production of vitamin D it seems that UV isn't the only reason for why sunlight exposure is important. One can take vitamin D supplements or short "sun baths" to prop up your D levels without damaging your skin.
