In this issue of the Journal, Ghiasvand et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2017;185(3):147-156) present results from a longitudinal study of the association between indoor tanning and melanoma in a large cohort of Norwegian women. These new data further support previous findings on the damaging effects of tanning bed exposure on women, particularly young women. The authors present compelling evidence that early exposure to tanning beds advances the date of diagnosis of melanoma by at least 2 years. With a strong design and a large cohort followed for a mean of 13.7 years, this study lends additional support to previous evidence of the negative effects of tanning beds and provides further justification for stronger policy initiatives designed to reduce tanning bed use among young women.
在本期《杂志》中，吉亚斯万德等人（《美国流行病学杂志》。2017年；185(3):147 - 156）展示了一项针对一大群挪威女性的室内晒黑与黑色素瘤关联的纵向研究结果。这些新数据进一步支持了先前关于晒黑床暴露对女性，尤其是年轻女性的有害影响的研究发现。作者提供了令人信服的证据，表明早期接触晒黑床会使黑色素瘤的诊断日期提前至少2年。这项研究设计严谨，对一大群人平均随访了13.7年，为先前关于晒黑床负面影响的证据提供了更多支持，并为旨在减少年轻女性使用晒黑床的更强有力政策举措提供了进一步的依据。
