NMSC is the most common cancer in countries with a largely fair skin phenotype population and moderate sun exposure. Assessing risk factors in the military personnel. Comparing the risk factors in this occupational group to the general population. 200 active-duty military members and 1000 individuals (the control group) were randomly selected from the general population. We used transversal data collection through a questionnaire, filled in by all participants in the study based on self-report on general data, skin type, habits, lifestyle and inheritance risk for cutaneous cancer. Analyzing the connection between risk factors reported and incidence for NMSC and melanoma, the following factors resulted significant: The control group the age variable >50 yo and BMI ≥25 were significant. The study group (military personnel), among the variables statistically examined through Pearson's test resulted significant: age > 50 years old, fair skin phenotype, sunburn during childhood, familial history of cutaneous cancer, dark spots (>20) on the arm, and coffee consumption as a protective factor. Military personnel has more significant risk factors for developing cutaneous cancer compared to other population groups therefore, prevention and early detection strategies are needed.
非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（NMSC）是在皮肤白皙表型人群占很大比例且阳光照射适中的国家中最常见的癌症。评估军事人员的风险因素。将该职业群体的风险因素与普通人群进行比较。从普通人群中随机选取了200名现役军人和1000人（对照组）。我们通过问卷调查进行横向数据收集，研究中的所有参与者根据自我报告填写一般数据、皮肤类型、习惯、生活方式和皮肤癌的遗传风险。分析所报告的风险因素与非黑色素瘤皮肤癌和黑色素瘤发病率之间的联系，以下因素具有显著性：对照组中年龄变量>50岁和体重指数（BMI）≥25具有显著性。在通过皮尔逊检验进行统计学检验的变量中，研究组（军事人员）中具有显著性的因素有：年龄>50岁、白皙皮肤表型、儿童期晒伤、皮肤癌家族史、手臂上有20个以上黑斑以及咖啡消费作为保护因素。与其他人群相比，军事人员患皮肤癌的风险因素更显著，因此需要预防和早期检测策略。
