People who live in sunnier areas may have a lower risk of dying from the coronavirus, according to a new study carried out in the US and replicated in Italy and England.
The study, published in The British Journal of Dermatology, found that the Mortality Risk Ratio – the ratio between the likelihood of dying for a certain population group and the risk of death for all other population groups – in the US fell 29% for every 100 kilojoules per square meter increase in mean daily ultraviolet light. In Italy and England, there was an estimated pooled decline of 32%.
