In Europe, little is known about the prevalence of indoor tanning. The aims of this study were therefore to estimate the prevalence of sunbed use and to identify risk groups and motives in a population-based survey. The cross-sectional "SUN-Study 2008" ("Sunbed-Use: Needs for Action-Study 2008") was conducted in 2008. A total of 500 adults, aged 18-45 years, were randomly selected and asked about their indoor tanning practices, their motivation and risk perception, and the compliance of staff with international sunbed use recommendations. Forty-seven percent of subjects reported having visited an indoor tanning facility at least once in their lives. Prevalence of use was not reduced in risk groups for skin cancer. Risk awareness of users equalled that of non-users. The poor quality of services and advice provided by many solariums was alarming. It can be concluded that appropriate measures to change tanning habits need to be identified. Legal regulations could be one option.
在欧洲,人们对室内晒黑的流行情况知之甚少。因此,本研究的目的是在一项基于人群的调查中估计使用日光浴床的流行率,并确定风险群体和动机。横断面的“2008年阳光研究”(“2008年日光浴床使用:行动需求研究”)于2008年开展。总共随机选取了500名年龄在18至45岁之间的成年人,询问他们的室内晒黑习惯、动机和风险认知,以及工作人员对国际日光浴床使用建议的遵守情况。47%的受试者报告称他们一生中至少去过一次室内晒黑场所。皮肤癌风险群体中使用日光浴床的流行率并未降低。使用者的风险意识与非使用者相当。许多日光浴室提供的服务和建议质量很差,令人担忧。可以得出结论,需要确定改变晒黑习惯的适当措施。法律法规可能是一种选择。
