Childhood sun exposure as a risk factor for melanoma: a systematic review of epidemiologic studies
Abstract
Objective To review the evidence that childhood is a period of particular susceptibility to the carcinogenic effects of solar radiation. Methods Studies were identified through searches of computerized bibliographic databases and article reference lists. Eligible studies were those that reported risks of melanoma associated with sun exposure during two or more age-periods. Results The measurement of childhood sun exposure varied across studies, preventing formal meta-analysis for most measures. We found that the way in which sun exposure was measured led to strikingly different conclusions regarding the association between age-specific sun exposure and risk of melanoma. Ecological studies assessing ambient sun exposure consistently reported lower risks of melanoma among people who resided in a low ultraviolet (UV) environment in childhood compared with those who resided in a high UV environment. In contrast, case-control studies differed widely in their findings, and no consistent associations with childhood sun exposure were observed. Conclusions Ecological studies provided better-quality evidence than case-control studies for examining the effects of exposure to sunlight during specific age periods. Exposure to high levels of sunlight in childhood is a strong determinant of melanoma risk, but sun exposure in adulthood also plays a role.

In the citing paper
“It has long been known that sun exposure in childhood is strongly associated with risk of melanoma [242], but the relative causative contributions of UV-A and UV-B radiation are unknown.”
In the citing paper
“Melanoma and SCC have different associations with UV-radiation; SCC is strongly associated with accumulated lifetime sun exposure [241], whilst an intermittent pattern of exposure, and exposure in childhood, are more important for the development of melanoma [242, 243].”

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.
