Sunbed use among Portuguese beach goers – A crave group while wainting sunbeds to be abolished

Abstract

Although sunbed use is considered a complete carcinogen for skin cancer, over the past decades exposure to indoor tanning is becoming more popular.(1, 2)

The risk appears to be stronger for young women, initial use at an early age (less than 35 years) and higher number of sunbed sessions. (3, 4)

With this study we aim to better understand the features of sunbed users in Portuguese beach goers, a group at high risk for skin cancer.
