Brazil is a country of continental dimensions with a large heterogeneity of climates and massive mixing of the population. Almost the entire national territory is located between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Earth axial tilt to the south certainly makes Brazil one of the countries of the world with greater extent of land in proximity to the sun. The Brazilian coastline, where most of its population lives, is more than 8,500 km long. Due to geographic characteristics and cultural trends, Brazilians are among the peoples with the highest annual exposure to the sun. Epidemiological data show a continuing increase in the incidence of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers. Photoprotection can be understood as a set of measures aimed at reducing sun exposure and at preventing the development of acute and chronic actinic damage. Due to the peculiarities of Brazilian territory and culture, it would not be advisable to replicate the concepts of photoprotection from other developed countries, places with completely different climates and populations. Thus the Brazilian Society of Dermatology has developed the Brazilian Consensus on Photoprotection, the first official document on photoprotection developed in Brazil for Brazilians, with recommendations on matters involving photoprotection.
巴西是一个幅员辽阔的国家，气候差异巨大，人口构成复杂多样。几乎整个国土都位于赤道和南回归线之间，地球自转轴向南倾斜，这无疑使巴西成为世界上靠近太阳的土地面积较大的国家之一。巴西大部分人口居住在沿海地区，其海岸线绵延超过8500公里。由于地理特征和文化倾向，巴西人是每年日照时间最长的人群之一。流行病学数据显示，非黑色素瘤和黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率持续上升。光防护可以理解为一系列旨在减少日照以及预防急性和慢性光化性损伤的措施。鉴于巴西领土和文化的特殊性，照搬其他发达国家、气候和人口完全不同地区的光防护理念并不可取。因此，巴西皮肤病学会制定了《巴西光防护共识》，这是巴西为巴西人制定的首份关于光防护的官方文件，其中包含了有关光防护事项的建议。
