Reproducibility of reported measurements of sun exposure in a case-control study.
We examined the reproducibility of the measurement of sun exposure in a cohort study of nonmelanocytic skin cancer in Geraldton, Western Australia. Two analyses were undertaken: a comparison of cutaneous sun damage with sun exposure reported at interview, and an analysis of test-retest reproducibility of reported exposure. Skin cancers and cutaneous indicators of sun damage (cutaneous microtopo...
متن کاملSun exposure measurements in populations.
Measuring ultraviolet (UV) exposure in human populations is a complex task. The dominant source of ultraviolet radiation for humans is sunlight, which is always a mix of both ultraviolet A (UVA, usually 320– 400 nm) and ultraviolet B (UVB, 320–280 nm). Ultraviolet C ( 280 nm) is filtered by the atmosphere and does not reach the earth’s surface. Researchers cannot separate the individual effects...
متن کاملSun exposure habits and health risk-related behaviours among individuals with previous history of skin cancer.
AIM The aim of the present study was to investigate possible associations between UV exposure and other health risk behaviours in different social environments and in regard to previous history of skin cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS In two closely-located, equally-sized cities in Sweden, representing different social environments (blue collar and white collar), patients aged 55-69 years, diagno...
متن کاملAllergic hypersensitivity skin reactions following sun exposure.
Photoallergic dermatoses are skin lesions following sun exposure, characterized by activation of immunological mechanisms, involving photosensitizers and photoallergens that can cause photosensibilization in some individuals. In this group of disorders, photoallergic contact dermatitis should be accentuated. It manifests as contact allergic dermatitis on sun-exposed skin areas, following direct...
متن کاملMeasures of cumulative exposure from a standardized sun exposure history questionnaire: a comparison with histologic assessment of solar skin damage.
Ultraviolet radiation exposure is the dominant environmental determinant of all major forms of skin cancer; however, the nature of the association is incompletely understood. Existing instruments to capture sun exposure history tend to yield reproducible results, but the validity of these responses is unknown. To address this question, the authors examined the relation between responses to a st...
