Pelle Lindqvist: Sunlight in Reducing All-Cause Mortality
Pelle Lindqvist, PhD, is a Swedish obstetrician and epidemiologist with particular interest in the role of sun exposure habits in health outcomes. He has become more well-known particularly because of his publications in the last decade on how sun exposure impacts disease incidence and mortality. In 2014 and 2016, Pelle and colleagues used data from the Melanoma in Southern Sweden Cohort of 30,000 women over 20 years. The published results demonstrated that those with the greatest sun-seeking habits had lower all-cause mortality when compared with those with the lowest sun-seeking habits. These results have since been replicated using data from the UK Biobank, making it crystal clear that our disconnection from sunlight is affecting health in a foundational manner.
