Item Restricted AN EVALUATION OF SKIN AND EYE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SOLAR ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION EXPOSURE IN THE CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.(Nazarbayev University School of Medicine, 2024) Assylbek, NurkaliCentral Asian nations consist of Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan which are located from western China throughout Central Asia to the Caucasian mountains. Central Asia does not have open access to seas and oceans, which make the climate distinctively continental with predominant cloudless, hot, and dry weather conditions.

UV light strength is expressed as watts per square centimeter (mW/cm2). In Figure 1, Central Asian nations are exhibited with Moderate-High UV indexes according to the global solar UV indexes because of their geographical location...
