背景：暴露于太阳紫外线（UV）辐射是一个已知的和可控的皮肤癌的危险因素。目的：了解一般人群紫外线暴露情况及防护行为。方法：结构式访谈调查。结果：从EDEN（欧洲皮肤流行病学网络）香料研究队列中随机招募了865名志愿者。个人皮肤类型不影响职业或休闲。经常使用防晒霜的人的比例在最老的年龄组中较低，而皮肤癌的风险最高。女性使用防晒霜的频率明显高于男性，而且更有可能让专家检查痣。结论：我们的研究证明了对有关皮肤癌危险因素和保护作用的公共信息的需求。老年男子亚群是关于避免皮肤癌风险的公共教育运动的一个相关目标群体。(C)2015 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔
Background: Exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a known and controllable risk factor for skin cancer. Objective: To study the UV exposure and protection behavior of the general population. Methods: Structured interview survey. Results: A random sample of 865 volunteers from the EDEN (European Dermato-Epidemiology Network) Fragrance Study cohort was recruited. The individual skin type did not influence the occupation or leisure. The proportion of people who regularly used sunscreens was lower in the oldest age groups, where the risk of skin cancer is highest. Women used sunscreens significantly more frequently than men did and were more likely to have their moles checked by a specialist. Conclusions: A demand for public information on the risk factors for skin cancer and the role of protection was demonstrated by our study. The subpopulation of aged men represents a relevant target group for educational public campaigns on skin cancer risk avoidance. (C) 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel
