目的：描述过去一年中美国成年人室内晒黑的流行情况和特征。设计：横断面研究。设置：健康信息全国趋势研究，2005年。参与者：该研究包括2869名参与者，年龄18 - 64岁，白色。随机抽取821名参与者，询问他们对皮肤癌预防知识和态度的问题。主要结果：该研究评估了过去12个月内自我报告使用室内晒黑的流行率及其与人口统计学和生活方式因素、知识和态度的关系。总体而言，18.1%的女性和6.3%的男性报告在过去12个月内在室内晒黑。年龄较大、受教育程度较低、收入较低、经常使用防晒霜的女性不太可能报告这种行为，而居住在中西部和南部的女性以及使用喷雾晒黑产品的女性更有可能报告这种行为。那些不太可能报告这种行为的男性年龄较大，肥胖，但如果他们住在大都市地区并使用喷雾晒黑产品，他们更有可能报告这种行为。在开放式回答中，只有13.3%的女性和4.2%的男性认为避免使用日光浴床可以降低患皮肤癌的风险。更大的皮肤癌知识和更高的皮肤癌的感知风险呈负相关的行为women.Conclusions：患病率和一些特点与室内晒黑的使用，如防晒霜的使用，在美国的女性和男性之间的差异。大多数成年人没有自愿避免使用日光浴床来预防皮肤癌。临床医生与患者就室内晒黑的风险进行沟通可能有助于减少室内晒黑的使用。
Objectives: To describe the prevalence and characteristics related to indoor tanning use among adults in the United States in the past year.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Health Information National Trends Study, 2005.Participants: The study included 2869 participants who were white and aged 18 to 64 years; a random subset of 821 participants were also asked questions about skin cancer prevention knowledge and attitudes.Main Outcome Measures: The study assessed the prevalence of self-reported use of indoor tanning in the past 12 months and its associations with demographic and lifestyle factors, knowledge, and attitudes.Results: Overall, 18.1% of women and 6.3% of men reported tanning indoors in the past 12 months. Women who were older, were less educated, had lower income, and used sunscreen regularly were less likely to report the behavior, while women residing in the Midwest and the South and who used spray tanning products were more likely to report the behavior. Men who were less likely to report the behavior were older and obese but more likely to report the behavior if they lived in metropolitan areas and used spray tanning products. In an open-response format, only 13.3% of women and 4.2% of men suggested that avoidance of tanning bed use could reduce their risks of skin cancer. Greater skin cancer knowledge and higher perceived risk of skin cancer were inversely associated with the behavior in women.Conclusions: Prevalence and some characteristics associated with indoor tanning use, such as sunscreen use, differed between women and men in the United States. Most adults did not volunteer avoidance of tanning bed use to prevent skin cancer. Clinician-patient communication on risks of indoor tanning may be helpful to reduce indoor tanning use.
