Ultraviolet exposure and mortality among women in Sweden by Yang, L, Lof, M, Veierod, MB, Sandin, S, Adami, H-O, Weiderpass, E

“…When combining the information on sun exposure from age 10 to 39 years, women who got sunburned twice or more per year during adolescence had a reduced all-cause mortality, compared with women who had been sunburned once or less. A reduced risk for all-cause and CVD mortality was observed in women who went on sunbathing vacations more than once a year over three decades. …”
