| Title | [Potentially beneficial effects of climate changes.] | | Author(s) | Hitz MF, Beck Jensen JE | | Institution | Endokrinologisk Klinik 2132, Abdominalcentret, Rigshospitalet, DK-2100 København Ø. mettehitz@hotmail.com. | | Source | Ugeskr Laeger 2009 Oct 26; 171(44):3197-3200. | | Abstract | Climate changes have many unbeneficial effects on human health, but may also have beneficial effects. An increased mean temperature reduces the incidence of death due to hypothermia and cardiovascular disease and may increase exercise frequency. As the ozone layer decreases, the synthesis of vitamin D in the organism will also increase. An increased level of plasma vitamin D has beneficial effects on bone- and muscle health, seems to reduce cancer incidence and mortality and reduces the prevalence of autoimmune- and cardiovascular disease. | | Language | DAN | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
