This study identified predictors of sunscreen use in males and females and examined the extent to which gender differences in sunscreen use were associated with skin cancer screening outcomes. Subjects were 351 adult Southern California residents who participated in one of five free skin cancer screenings. Logistic regression models showed that sunscreen use was significantly associated with sex, personal and family history of skin cancer, and a sun sensitivity index. The latter three factors were found to be confounders of the sex-sunscreen use relationship. Whereas female use of sunscreen was best predicted by her sun sensitivity, male use of sunscreen was best predicted by a family history of skin cancer. Screening outcomes also varied by sex, suggesting that the interrelationships among gender, family history of skin cancer, and sun sensitivity have important implications for sunscreen use, which may in turn impact clinical outcomes.
本研究确定了男性和女性使用防晒霜的预测因素，并考察了防晒霜使用方面的性别差异与皮肤癌筛查结果之间的关联程度。研究对象为351名南加州成年居民，他们参加了五项免费皮肤癌筛查中的一项。逻辑回归模型显示，防晒霜的使用与性别、个人及家族皮肤癌病史以及日晒敏感性指数显著相关。后三个因素被发现是性别与防晒霜使用关系的混杂因素。女性使用防晒霜的最佳预测因素是其日晒敏感性，而男性使用防晒霜的最佳预测因素是皮肤癌家族史。筛查结果也因性别而异，这表明性别、皮肤癌家族史和日晒敏感性之间的相互关系对防晒霜的使用具有重要影响，而这反过来可能会影响临床结果。
