Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1999
Abstract. There is strong evidence that sun exposure during childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the etiology of skin cancer, in particular cutaneous melanoma. Between the age of 6 and 18, most children and adolescents will spend around 200 days per year at school and may receive a substantial fraction of their daily total solar ...

The risk of malignant melanoma may double if severe sunburns are experienced during childhood. Because children are exposed to sunlight for the longest period of time before age 21, regular use of sunscreen can reduce a child's lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. Therefore, preventive education is vital for parents of infants, preschool and school-

Adolescents’ Attitudes to Sun Exposure and Sun Protection
Journal of Cancer Education, 2016Adolescents are considered a risk group for the development of skin cancer in later life due to their high rates of sunburn. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between attitudes to sun exposure and the sociodemographic characteristics of adolescents, their habits, practices and knowledge. As a secondary goal, we describe the magnitude

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1997
By 1927 for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and by 1955 for melanoma, the broad grounds for relating sun exposure to skin cancer had been established: that these are more frequent in residents of areas of high ambient solar irradiance, are more frequent in sun-sensitive people, occur mainly on sun-exposed body sites, are ...

Black skin, compared with white skin, is generally assumed to be more resistant to the consequences of sun exposure due to its epidermal melanin content. However, recent scientific evidence shows that black skin is not completely impervious to sunlight. Both clinical and -experimental data have reported sun-induced effects on black skin. Black skin can

Nursing Standard, 2005
This article discusses the current confusion regarding sun exposure. Having been told for many years to avoid the sun in an effort to prevent skin cancer, we are now being told that we may actually need to increase our exposure to sunlight to improve our health. Both sides of the debate are discussed and the information available is reviewed.

Regular sun exposure benefits health
Medical Hypotheses, 2016Since it was discovered that UV radiation was the main environmental cause of skin cancer, primary prevention programs have been started. These programs advise to avoid exposure to sunlight. However, the question arises whether sun-shunning behaviour might have an effect on general health.
