Abstract in brief

  • The study found that indoor tanning is strongly associated with a higher risk of melanoma, especially among women under 50, with younger women initiating tanning at an earlier age and engaging in more sessions.
  • Women under 30 who tanned indoors were six times more likely to develop melanoma compared to those who did not tan, and a dose-response relationship was observed across age groups.
  • The increase in melanoma cases among younger women, particularly on the trunk, suggests that indoor tanning is a significant factor contributing to rising melanoma rates in this demographic, while results for men were less consistent.]
