Physical activity is associated with greater odds of sunburn in adults, increasing harmful sun exposure and skin cancer risk. The authors sought to investigate parallel associations between sunburn and physical activity among US high school students.
The authors examined pooled cross-sectional data from the 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. A nationally representative sample of 21,894 US high school students who responded to the sunburn question was included.
Prevalence of sunburn was 56.6% between 2015 and 2017. Sunburn prevalence was higher in physically active students (88.3%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 86.7%-90.0%; P < .0001) and student athletes (63.0%; 95% CI, 59.4%-66.7%; P < .0001). Among male students who were vigorously physically active (≥5 d) or on ≥3 teams, the odds of sunburn were 2.33 (95% CI, 1.81-3.00; P < .0001) and 2.52 (95% CI, 1.96-3.23; P < .0001), respectively. Among female students who were vigorously physically active (≥5 d) or on ≥3 teams, the odds of sunburn were 1.65 (95% CI, 1.36-2.02; P < .0001) and 2.92 (95% CI, 2.07-4.13; P < .0001), respectively.
Many US high school students are affected by sunburn, and the odds of sunburn are elevated during physical activity and team sports participation. Efforts are needed to improve sun safety regulations, education, and resources for youth during school and physical activity.
体力活动与成年人晒伤的几率增加有关，这会增加有害的阳光暴露和皮肤癌的风险。作者试图调查美国高中生中晒伤与体力活动之间的平行关联。
作者检查了 2015 年和 2017 年青少年风险行为调查的汇总横断面数据。包括了对晒伤问题做出回应的 21894 名美国高中生的全国代表性样本。
2015 年至 2017 年期间，晒伤的患病率为 56.6%。在体力活动活跃的学生（88.3%；95%置信区间[CI]，86.7%-90.0%；P<.0001）和学生运动员（63.0%；95%CI，59.4%-66.7%；P<.0001）中，晒伤的患病率更高。在积极进行剧烈体力活动（≥5 天）或参加≥3 个团队的男学生中，晒伤的几率分别为 2.33（95%CI，1.81-3.00；P<.0001）和 2.52（95%CI，1.96-3.23；P<.0001）。在积极进行剧烈体力活动（≥5 天）或参加≥3 个团队的女学生中，晒伤的几率分别为 1.65（95%CI，1.36-2.02；P<.0001）和 2.92（95%CI，2.07-4.13；P<.0001）。
许多美国高中生受到晒伤的影响，在体力活动和团队运动参与期间，晒伤的几率会增加。需要努力改善学校和体育活动期间青少年的阳光安全法规、教育和资源。
