Methods used routinely collected population-based cancer incidence data and published measurements ambient in our analysis. Findings The declined by 49% each 10° increase latitude (p 50°). Solar radiation decreases with increasing latitude, decreased 29% per unit reduction exposure Interpretation Our results are compatible hypothesis that an important cause eye.
