Those with clear skin, history of sun exposure or the use of the tanning bed and a genetic predisposition are more at risk. The main obstacles to prevention include a lack of consciousness, cultural preferences for tanned skin and limited access to sun protection.

A study carried out by researchers from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine of Florida Atlantic University is one of the few to explore associations between the reported number of sunburn and socio -demographic characteristics, in addition to examining the prevalence of protective skin behavior adopted by the American adult population in a national representative sample. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it experiences five sunburns or more between 15 and 20 years, increases the risk of melanoma by 80% and the risk of non -melanoma skin of 68%.

Using data from the national survey on national trends in the National Cancer Institute of the National Cancer National. The socio -demographic factors that have been studied included age, sex, professional state, matrimonial state, level of education, Hispanic origin, race and income because of their potential link with the risk of skin cancer.

Among 6,252 participants questioned, when they were asked how confident they felt their ability to take good health, most of the respondents felt very confident (44%) or completely confident (27.3%). Results, published in the American Journal of Lifestyle MedicineAlso shown that most respondents had moderate concerns about the risk of skin cancer. Only 9.1%said they were extremely worried, while the majority was somewhat (26.6%) or slightly (25.6%).

For sunburn and skin protection, 67.6% have not pointed out any sunburn in the past year, while 30.3% had 1 to 5 sunburns. In addition, 6.4% said they consume alcohol during the sunburn, a risk factor known for increased incidence to sunburn. Activities such as alcohol consumption, outside work or swimming were common in those who reported sunburn.

By using a multinomial regression analysis, statistically significant associations have been reported between the number of sunburn and socio -demographic factors. Adults (over 40) had the risk of sunburn below, as well as women. Handicapped, unemployed and multi-occupation participants reported less sunburn. People married or in partnership had higher sunshine risks, while divorced or single participants had lower risks. The levels of higher education, being Hispanic, black, Asian or mixed breed, were linked to risks below sunburn. The higher income groups had significantly higher risks of sunburn, the highest income group being more than four times more likely to report a sunburn.

“Social determinants such as race / ethnicity, sex, income and status of employment are closely linked to sunburn and the risk of skin cancer,” said Lea Sacca, Ph.D., principal author and assistant professor in the health and social medicine department, within the Schmidt College of Medicine. “While Hispanics and Black American generally indicate lower sun stroke rates, Hispanics often perceive greater advantages of UV exposure, which increases their risk. Factors such as sex, education and income also influence the solar course, women with higher use and income are more likely to use solar screens.

Skin cancer includes three main types: cell carcinoma, epidermoid carcinoma and melanoma. The basal carcinoma of the cells is the most common and the least aggressive, generally appearing as a pearly and pearly bump or a pinkish patch, often on areas exposed to the sun. Epidermoid carcinoma generally appears in the form of red plates and scaly or open wounds and can spread to other parts of the body if it is not treated early. Melanoma, the most dangerous shape, develops in cells producing pigments (melanocytes) and may appear as a new mole or changes in an existing cell. It is very aggressive and can spread quickly to other organs if it is not caught early.

“Understanding perceptions of the risk of skin cancer and the prevalence of protective behavior is essential to reduce the probability of developing skin cancer, especially among vulnerable groups,” said Madison Etzel, the first author and second year student in medicine at the Schmidt College of Medicine. “Our study underlines the importance of raising awareness of sensitivity to skin cancer, as we have found that all socio -demographic factors were significantly linked to the number of sunburn reported during the past year. Future research should explore how additional health determinants of health influence the incidence of the sun and prevention behavior.

According to the American Cancer Society and other health organizations, the practice of solar safety and skin awareness is vital to prevent skin cancer. Regularly apply a wide spectrum sunscreen with an FPS of 30 or more, especially when you spend time outside and the reapplication every two hours is essential as the first step for the prevention of skin cancer. Avoid direct sunlight, in particular between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are the strongest, and the shadow search as much as possible are also additional preventive strategies to consider to reduce the risk of this disease. In addition, protect the skin more by wearing long -sleeved clothing, wide -edge hats and sunglasses with 100% UVA / UVB protection has also been recommended. It is also crucial to avoid tanning beds because they increase the risk of skin cancer.

Regular skin self-examinations for any dial or unusual changes, as well as professional skin screening by a dermatologist, can help early detection. Surfaces like water, sand and snow can also reflect UV rays, therefore reapply the sunscreen more frequently in these environments. Finally, staying hydrated supports skin health and resilience against UV damage.
