Variation in ultraviolet radiation and diabetes: evidence of an epigenetic effect that modulates diabetics’ lifespan

Table 6 Displays an example from Additional file 2 : Appendix 1 for two bimonthly periods for increasing UVR at conception and for decreasing UVR at conception for the white race (a similar analysis was done for all 12 bimonthly sets for each racial group
