This smells like BS...or rather misdirection.
If I go on a hike...and the health benefits of doing so are real, but I do incur a minor health negative from potential skin cancer from higher UV exposure.
...then I've still got a positive correlation between lower mortality and UV...even thought that's linking the wrong variables
- sokoloff 2y agoFurther, there's a selection bias in that those who choose to go on a hike today are not among the least healthy to start with, even if the hike itself didn't change anything.
- cpncrunch 2y agoThat doesn't explain the sunbed result. Also, Lundqvist did control for exercise in their 2016 study which gave the same result. The evidence base has been building for a long time, and I changed my own behavior over 10 years ago to get more UV. Not sure why you seem to feel the need to call it bs before even looking at the evidence.
