Sunburn is a major preventable risk factor for skin cancer.
We investigated risk factors for sunburn in the United States based on the 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
A random sample of 207,776 respondents provided data for the population-based survey. The main outcome measure was any report of sunburn within the previous 12 months.
Overall, 39% of respondents had at least one sunburn. The strongest factors associated with sunburn were age and socioeconomic factors. Sunburn prevalence was greatest in respondents 18 to 24 years old (61%). This group was more likely to have a sunburn than respondents 45 to 54 years of age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.76). Higher income and higher levels of education were positively associated with sunburn (OR 1.67 and 1.63, respectively). Individuals reporting recent binge drinking had a higher prevalence of sunburn (OR = 1.33).
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System does not include data on skin type or sun protection behavior; therefore the impact of these factors was not assessed.
Sunburn occurs at a very high rate in the United States.
晒伤是皮肤癌一个主要的可预防风险因素。
我们基于2003年行为风险因素监测系统调查了美国晒伤的风险因素。
对207,776名受访者进行随机抽样，为基于人群的调查提供数据。主要结局指标是过去12个月内任何晒伤报告。
总体而言，39%的受访者至少有过一次晒伤。与晒伤相关的最强因素是年龄和社会经济因素。18至24岁的受访者中晒伤患病率最高（61%）。该组比45至54岁的受访者更易晒伤（优势比[OR]=2.76）。较高收入和较高教育水平与晒伤呈正相关（分别为OR 1.67和1.63）。报告近期有酗酒行为的个体晒伤患病率较高（OR=1.33）。
行为风险因素监测系统不包括皮肤类型或防晒行为数据；因此未评估这些因素的影响。
在美国，晒伤发生率非常高。
