It is generally accepted that ...

• more women die of ovarian cancer in the North Eastern United States than in the sunnier states in the South and Southwest
• low serum levels of vitamin D3 increase a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer

... raising the possibility that exposure to adequate levels of sunshine may be an important preventive factor ( the body produces vitamin D3 when the skin or eyes are exposed to sufficiently strong sunlight).

The findings of this study support this hypothesis. When the researchers compared average exposures to ultraviolet B light, average exposures to stratospheric column ozone (which reduces ultraviolet B strengths), fertility rates in 15-19 year olds and ovarian cancer rates in 175 countries during 2002, they found a strong inverse correlation between reduced ultraviolet B exposure levels and increased mortality rates from ovarian cancer.
