The Danish case‐control study of cutaneous malignant melanoma. II. Importance of UV‐light exposure
Abstract
A population‐based case‐control study of 474 patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma and 926 population controls, conducted in East Denmark over a 3‐year period, included an evaluation of the relationship of UV‐light exposure to cutaneous melanoma risk. Patients with lentigo maligna melanoma were not included. Significantly increased risk was associated with severe sunburn before age 15 (RR = 2. 7 for 5 + vs. never), sunbathing (RR = 1. 6), boating (RR = 1. 4) and vacations spent in the sun (RR = 1. 4 for very sunny vs. never). A significant decrease in risk was associated with occupational exposure during the summer in males (RR = 0. 7), and no association with cutaneous microtopography was seen. These findings were independent of the effects of constitutional risk factors (naevi, freckles and light hair colour). No association was found between the risk of cutaneous melanoma and exposure to artificial UV‐light (fluorescent light, sun lamps, or sun beds). No significant difference was found between superficial spreading melanoma and nodular melanoma with regard to any of the sun exposure variables. Our data indicate that exposure to intermittent intense sunlight is an important risk factor for cutaneous malignant melanoma, while long‐term continuous exposure does not appear to be a risk factor for cutaneous malignant melanoma, while long‐term continuous exposure does not appear to be a risk factor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
