Sinar ultraviolet B adalah sumber utama vitamin D, tetapi wanita usia suburyang bekerja di dalam ruangan mempunyai vitamin D yang rendahmeskipun Indonesia negara tropis. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengevalua-si peranan paparan sinar matahari pada wanita usia subur terhadap statusvitamin D dan tekanan darah. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalaheksperimen tanpa kelompok kontrol pada 21 wanita sehat. Penelitian inimembandingkan status vitamin D dan tekanan darah sebelum dan setelahmendapat paparan sinar matahari pada wajah dan lengan tiga kali seming-gu selama 12 minggu. Analisis data menggunakan uji t-berpasangan.Paparan sinar matahari dapat meningkatkan vitamin D. Serum 25(OH)Dmeningkat 15,9% dari 15.7 ng/dL menjadi 18,2 ng/dL. Paparan sinar mata-hari menurunkan tekanan darah sistolik (nilai p = 0,004) dan diastolik (ni-lai p = 0,011). Ultraviolet B dari sinar matahari 30 menit tiga kali semingguselama 12 minggu dapat memperbaiki status vitamin D dan tekanan darah.Ultraviolet B sunlight exposure is a primary source of vitamin D, but womenof childbearing age who worked in room every day had low serum vitaminD despite Indonesia is a tropical country. The objective of this study was toevaluate the role of sun exposure in women of childbearing age on vitaminD status, and blood pressure. An intervention before-after study withoutgroup control was conducted on 21 healthy women. This study comparedvitamin D status, and blood pressure before and after receiving ultravioletB (UVB) from sun exposure on the face and both arms three times a weekfor 12 weeks. Anthropometric parameter and blood pressure were mea-sured, were determined at baseline and after 12 weeks of sun exposure.The effect of sun exposure can improve vitamin D. Serum 25 (OH)D in-crease 15.9% from 15.7 ng/dL to 18.2 ng/dL. Sun exposure significantly re-duced systolic blood pressure (p value = 0.004), and diastolic blood pres-Peranan Ultraviolet B Sinar Matahari terhadap StatusVitamin D dan Tekanan Darah pada Wanita Usia SuburThe Role of Ultraviolet B from Sun Exposure on Vitamin D Status andBlood Pressure in Women of Childbearing AgeBetty Yosephin* Ali Khomsan** Dodik Briawan** Rimbawasure (p value = 0.011).
