I can’t see the full article. Is it because of vitamin d?

It doesn't go into detail, but it does say "a line of epidemiological studies suggest reduced risk of prostate cancer associated with sun exposure, outdoor activity, highly active vitamin D receptor variants [9], high level of vitamin D [10], childhood sunburn, regular foreign holidays, sunbathing score, high exposure to UVR [11] or living at lower latitude [12], results all pointing at the protective role of sun exposure."
