Background: Low vitamin D intake and high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration < 50 nmol/L) among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples highlight a need for public health strategies to improve…
Objective: To investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and mental health, measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale 5 (K5), among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.…
Although previous observational studies have shown associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and metabolic syndrome, this association has not yet been investigated among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander…
Objective: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) deficiency has been associated with sleep disorders in adults. Only three cross-sectional studies were performed in children and showed an association between 25OHD deficiency and both obstructive…
The synthesis of vitamin D is strongly linked to the availability of solar energy. For a long time, it was clear that using the erythemal irradiances is a good choice to calculate the exposure time. Several authors argue that this method of…
Vitamin K is emerging as a multi-function vitamin that plays a role in bone, brain and vascular health. Vitamin K composition data remain limited globally and Australia has lacked nationally representative data for vitamin K1…
This study explores the link between dietary behavior and the risk of nutritional deficiency dermatoses (NDD) in the Bicol region, where malnutrition remains a concern. Using regression analysis on FNRI data, it examines food purchase…
Bayesian nonparametric estimates of Australian mental health distributions are obtained to assess how the mental health status of the population has changed over time and to compare the mental health status of female/male and…
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused global disruption and a significant loss of life. Existing treatments that can be repurposed as prophylactic and therapeutic agents could reduce the pandemic's devastation. Emerging evidence of…
Vitamin K is vital for normal blood coagulation, and may influence bone, neurological and vascular health. Data on the vitamin K content of Australian foods are limited, preventing estimation of vitamin K intakes in the Australian…
Motivated by several recent experimental observations that vitamin-D could interact with antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T-lymphocyte cells (T-cells) to promote and to regulate different stages of immune response, we developed a coarse…
A major focus of debate about rationing guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines is whether and how to prioritize access for minority populations that have been particularly affected by the pandemic, and been the subject of historical and…
A higher Mediterranean diet score has been associated with lower likelihood of multiple sclerosis. However, evidence regarding its association with disease activity and progression is limited. Using data from the AusLong Study, we tested…
We combine published optical and near-infrared photometry to identify new low-mass candidate members in an area of about 0.64 deg^2 in Corona Australis, using the S-parameter method. Five new candidate members of the region are selected,…
Background: Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) affects millions worldwide. Significant disparities exist in ADRD diagnosis and care, disproportionately impacting minority and socioeconomically vulnerable populations Objective:…
A clear linear correlation of covid-19 surge date with country latitude was observed last autumn 2020, but not with temperature, nor with humidity, pointing the seasonal vitamin D status decline as a contributor factor. Well vaccinated…
Solar radiation is made up of three components of electromagnetic waves: infrared, visible and ultraviolet. The infrared component is the cause of thermal energy, the visible spectrum allows to see through the eyes and the ultraviolet…
Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to make causal claims. Standard MR approaches typically report a single population-averaged estimate, limiting their ability to explore effect heterogeneity or…
It is known that the primary source of dietary vitamin C is fruit and vegetables and the plasma level of vitamin C has been considered a good surrogate biomarker of vitamin C intake by fruit and vegetable consumption. To combine the…
Chronic illnesses are a global concern with essential hypertension and diabetes mellitus among the most common conditions. Remote patient monitoring has shown promising results on clinical and health outcomes. However, access to care and…
