This review explores the opportunities and challenges associated with sun exposure in tropical countries and discusses potential strategies that may be adopted for promoting sun exposure. For this, two strands of evidence were reviewed; trials on sun exposure, analysed for risk of bias and, the environmental factors that influence acquisition of vitamin D from sun exposure in the context of on-going ecological and nutritional transition. Compilation of data from available databases in terms of deficiency, per cent rural population, status of fortification, air pollution, ultraviolet index, skin reflectance and skin cancer prevalence were done. In the context of environmental and lifestyle-related challenges, opportunities go hand-in-hand in terms of built environment, variability in air pollution and personal factors such as skin pigmentation, precursor availability and general nutritional status. Contextual policy decisions should consider urban and rural development planning, control of air pollution, targeted guidelines for indigenous and immigrant population and use of space technology in educating general population for balanced sun exposure as essential components for a sustainable strategy. Important opportunities exist for tropical countries to develop sun exposure as a strategy for acquiring vitamin D and these need to be explored.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijmr.ijmr_1244_18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]],"date-time":"2021-12-02T10:34:25Z","timestamp":1638441265000},"page":"423-432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Sun exposure as a strategy for acquiring vitamin D in developing countries of tropical region"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"154","author":[{"given":"Little Flower","family":"Augustine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
