Abstract

Introduction: Excessive sun exposure and sunburns are the main preventable causes of skin cancer. The growing popularity of outdoor sports in developed countries has motivated the objective of this work to study the risk of photoexposure and the skin cancer prevention needs of athletes in an extreme race and evaluate an intervention targeted at this population. Methods: An observational study was conducted during the XXIII edition of the 101 km de Ronda race, which consisted of trail running and mountain biking categories. Environmental and personal dosimetry, monitoring of meteorological conditions, evaluation of the athletes' photoprotection and skin examination habits, a dermatological checkup, and a satisfaction questionnaire were performed. Results: The ultra‐endurance race was carried out under adverse conditions (maximum ultraviolet index (UVI) = 9.2, temperatures above 30°C, and relative humidity >35%). The mean effective erythema dose received by race athletes (n = 11) was 2959.2 ± 404.2 J/m2, equivalent to 29.6 standard erythema doses (SED). The CHACES questionnaire (n = 1145) showed a sunburn rate of 58% and poor protective habits: 62.9% of athletes do not usually use sunscreen and 67.2% do not self‐examine their skin. Actinic keratoses (4.7%) and suspicious skin cancer lesions (4.2%) were found in dermatologic screening exams (n = 170). On the satisfaction questionnaire (n = 111), this intervention was rated as excellent (95.5%). Conclusion: This research highlights the extreme risk of photoexposure that athletes are subjected to during ultra‐endurance competitions. In the same way, it shows the need to carry out interventions aimed at the acquisition of healthy photoprotection habits and skin surveillance in this target group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Overexposure to sunlight is the main cause of skin cancer. Photoprotection practices and sunburn play a crucial role in skin cancer prevention. Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the risk of sun exposure and to evaluate photoprotection practices in Spanish sailors during Olympic competitions. Methods: Solar daily ultraviolet (UV) radiation cycle, personal UV dosimetry, photoprotection practices and sunburn checking were followed during three consecutive days of competition among sailors from the Spanish Olympic Sailing Team during a Tokyo Olympic Regatta Test Event. Results: A total of 13 sailors (7 women), with mean age of 27.6 ± 4.7 years and sports experience of 17.7 ± 5.4 years, were studied. The most common phototypes were type III (53.8%) and type II (38.5%). The rate of sunburn checked was high (46.2%). The mean daily personal UV exposure received was 761.0 ± 263.6 J/m2, 3.0 ± 1.1 minimal erythemal dose and 7.6 ± 2.6 standard erythemal dose, seven times greater than the maximum permissible UV light exposure values for an 8 h working day. The use of a T‐shirt was the most common practice (94.2%), followed by the use of shade (50.2%), hat/cap (44.0%), sunglasses (26.1%) and sunscreen (11.8%). Conclusions: Olympic sailor's studies presented high levels of UV radiation received, high rate of sunburn and insufficient adherence to sun‐protective behaviours (especially, to use of sunscreen) to prevent sunburn, the main cause of skin cancer. Sport Federations should develop educational campaigns addressing sun‐related exposure habits and photoprotection behaviours to reduce the risk of skin cancer among these athletes.

Abstract

Objective: Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main preventable cause of skin cancer. Outdoor workers, exposed to the sun for many hours throughout their working lives, are at special risk. The aim of this study is to determine occupational photoexposure and photoprotection among outdoor workers employed by a municipality in southern Spain.Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study focusing on outdoor workers employed by the municipality of Fuengirola (in areas such as construction, gardening, urban cleaning and beach maintenance). The participants were monitored by personal dosimetry, participated in a dermatological check-up and answered a validated questionnaire (CHACES) on their habits, attitudes and knowledge related to sun exposure.Results: The median effective erythema dose of exposure to solar UV radiation during the working day (n=20) was 379.4 J/m2, equivalent to 3.8 standard erythema doses, almost 3 times higher than the recommended limits for an 8-hour workday. Skin examination (n=128) revealed the presence of actinic lentigines (79.7%), actinic keratoses (8.6%) and skin cancer (3.9%). The CHACES questionnaire (n=128) revealed a sunburn rate of 50.0%. Photoprotection practices were markedly deficient: only 16.7% of the survey respondents sought protection in the shade, 20.3% avoided exposure during the peak exposure hours and 33.1% applied sunscreen.Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate UV radiation exposure, occupational sun protection practices, sunburn and actinic injuries of different outdoor workers in one of the sunniest regions of Spain and underlines the need for effective interventions to protect outdoor workers' health.
