Inverse correlation with areas of lower UV exposure and increased prostate Increased risk of prostate cancer mortality with decreased UV exposure: OR 3.03 with lowest quartile of exposure Inverse correlation with lower UV exposure and increased prostate cancer mortality Cumulative UV exposure and sunbathing score lower
Results cancer mortality mortality (OR 0.83)
Measured “epidemiology index” with cloud cover and
and altitude taken into account latitude taken into account, “UV count” with latitude Cases and controls measured “sunbathing score” and UV exposure from questionnaire data UV exposure data from UVB radiation exposure map and USDA UV measuring stations, combined with cancer mortality rates 1970–1994 Cases and controls
