40 percent less likely to gain weight if live at high altitude (no mention of UVB nor vitamin D) – April 2014

High Altitudes May Aid Weight Control NYT article

Previous studies of the general population have shown that the rates of obesity are four times higher in low-altitude counties than high-altitude ones
overweight military serving at high altitudes (> 1.2 mile) had a 41 % lower risk of progressing to obesity than those serving at low altitudes.

Military study is attached at the bottom of this page

Vitamin D Life tried, without success, to leave the following comment at NYT

Colorado has the best ultraviolet radiation in the US, and thus has the lowest rate of many health problems - because UVB creates more vitamin D. Florida has more UV, but higher temperatures, so people in Florida stay indoors more. Details, along with many maps are at https://vitad.org/tiki-index.php?page_id=4652.
