New Preprint: Arbitrary vitamin D deficiency thresholds yield unreliable & potentially spurious results. Our analysis of Vit-D studies finds:
⚠️74% inappropriately dichotomised
⚠️10 different thresholds for deficiency

It's National Skin Cancer Action Week! We’re calling on the Federal Government to invest in a national skin cancer prevention campaign.
Skin cancer remains the most common, costly & one of the most preventable cancers. When it comes to skin cancer prevention, the job’s not done.
