This study evaluated the colorimeter as an objective measure of children's ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure.
Fifty-eight children, ages 6 to 9 years, attended two summer measurement sessions, with 46 attending a subsequent winter session.
Comparisons between summer sessions for the L* scale showed that only the upper arm significantly changed in the tanner direction, while b* scale values indicated significant tanning for all body sites. All exposed body sites changed significantly in the less tan direction between summer and winter measurements.
Using colorimeters to objectively measure children's UV exposure has potential applications for skin cancer prevention programs.
本研究评估了色度计作为儿童紫外线(UV)辐射暴露客观测量方法的效果。
58名6至9岁的儿童参加了两次夏季测量,其中46名儿童随后参加了冬季测量。
L量表夏季测量结果对比显示,仅上臂在晒黑方向有显著变化,而b量表值表明所有身体部位均有显著晒黑。夏季和冬季测量之间,所有暴露的身体部位在肤色变浅方向均有显著变化。
使用色度计客观测量儿童紫外线暴露对皮肤癌预防项目具有潜在应用价值。
