Background: Frequent and indiscriminate sun exposure has determined an increase in skin cancer rates globally. In Venezuela, reports evaluating sun exposure practices and the use of photoprotection measures are limited. Objective: To determine sun exposure habits, photoprotection practices and their association with the level of knowledge and attitudes, in individuals who perform outdoor exercises in the Venezuelan Andean egion, throughout 2020. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Using a digital survey, demographic data, skin phototype, history of sunburn, sun exposure habits, photoprotection practices, perceptions and knowledge were evaluated. Results: The sample consisted of 94 participants. Women use sunscreen more often than men, and they make a better use of it. 48.9% have suffered on average about 1 to 10 burns due to outdoor exercises. 70.2% practice physical activities 3 to 5 days per week. 59.2% do not use sunscreen on cloudy days. There was a high risk (13.8%) and a very high risk (4.3%) of developing future melanoma. Conclusions: The population evaluated has an acceptable level of knowledge about photoprotection. They make frequent but inappropriate use of the sunscreen, and have sun exposure habits that imply considerable doses of ultraviolet radiation; therefore, it is necessary to implement awareness campaigns that promote the adoption of healthy sun exposure habits.

Background: people who work outdoors are exposed to long periods of ultraviolet radiation; such is the case of street vendors. Objectives: determine the knowledge and habits of solar exposition in itinerant traders around a Chiclayo market. Materials and methods: A questionnaire were applied to 291 itinerant merchants located around the Mercado Modelo of Chiclayo, who evaluated sun exposure habits, photo protection measures, a history of sunburn and skin cancer, as well as knowledge of ultraviolet radiation and sources of information. Results: the following results were found: the age ranges were 18-25 (42.3%), 36-54 (38.1%), 55 -78 (19.6%). At the level of education, 13.1% have completed primary school, 32.6% have full secondary and 8.2% complete. At the time of the study, 71.9% had been working as street traders for more than 3 years. The phototype of the participants were phototype I (0.3%), phototype II (4.5%), phototype III (24.7%), phototype IV (48.8%), phototype V (19.6%), phototype VI (2.15). A 90 ± 3.5 %% recognizes that causes skin cancer, 53.6% recognizes that a feature of skin aging by radiation are spots and warts, 56% responded that solar radiation causes cataracts, a 52,92 % replied that white-skinned people are more sensitive to the sun's rays. 59.5% of traders indicated that they go to work from Monday to Sunday, 39.4% work 5-6 days a week, and 4.1% work 4 or less days a week. A 48.5% of them declared to expose themselves more than 6 hours to the solar rays, 24.7% are exposed of 3 - 6 hours a day, while 8.6% registered the shortest time of solar exposure (0 - 2 hours). 75.3% did not use sunscreen, 24.7% of merchants used sunscreen at the time of being surveyed as a measure of photo protection; of them, 63.9% said that a family member recommended their use, 94.4% use it 1-2 times a day, 38.9% only apply it when they go to work, 52.8% use it on their face , neck, ears and hands, and half of them (50.0%) get it from a catalog. Conclusions: the knowledge and habits of solar exposition in itinerant traders were equal or inferior to that described in other studies. It was found that the knowledge is from regular to adequate and poor habits.

To evaluate the photoprotective activity of a cream with lyophilized aqueous extract of maca (LEM) against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in the skin of mice.An experimental study was carried out on 35 BALB/c mice. Treatment was applied topically on the dorsum of the animals, which were subsequently irradiated with ultraviolet B rays, and then we measured the thickness in microns (μm) of histological samples of the skin of the mice. Seven groups were assigned, divided into non-irradiated: Blank (G1) and irradiated with UV light: no treatment (G2); with commercial sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 30 (G3); cream (placebo) (G4); LEM at 15% in water (G5); LEM cream at 5% (G6); and LEM cream at 15% (G7). In vitro SPF was determined using the Mansur method. Absorbance readings were taken in an ultraviolet- visible spectrophotometer (UV-VIS) and SPFs were determined for the following formulations: LEM cream at 5%, benzophenone-4 (BZF-4) and commercial sunscreen SPF 30.Mouse skin thickness in microns (μm) was 27.28 in G2; 18.31 in G3; 27.33 in G4; 19.51 in G5 and 18.04 in G6. There was no significant difference between the group not exposed to radiation (G1) and the 15% LEM cream group (G7), both had the lowest thicknesses (12.76 and 14.20 μm, respectively). The SPF of LEM cream at 15% was 5.480 ± 0.020.The formulation with LEM cream showed photoprotective activity against UV irradiation, alkaloids were the phytochemical components mostly found and the formulation was compatible with the active principle (LEM).Evaluar la actividad fotoprotectora de una crema con extracto acuoso liofilizado de maca (ELM) frente a la irradiación ultravioleta (UV) en la piel de ratones.Se realizó un estudio experimental en 35 ratones BALB/c. Los tratamientos fueron aplicados por vía tópica en el dorso de los animales y posteriormente irradiados con rayos ultravioleta B, para luego medir el grosor en micras (µm) de muestras histológicas de la piel de los ratones. Se asignaron siete grupos divididos en no irradiado: blanco (G1) e irradiados con luz UV: sin tratamiento (G2); con protector solar comercial con factor de protección solar (FPS) 30 (G3); crema (placebo) (G4); ELM al 15% en agua (G5); ELM al 5% en crema (G6); y ELM al 15% en crema (G7). Se determinó el FPS in vitro, mediante el método de Mansur. Se realizaron las lecturas de las absorbancias en un espectrofotómetro ultravioleta-visible (UV-VIS) y se determinaron los FPS para las siguientes formulaciones: ELM al 5% en crema, benzofenona-4 (BZF-4) y bloqueador solar comercial FPS 30.El grosor de piel de ratón en micras (µm) fue de 27,28 en G2; 18,31 en G3; 27,33 en G4; 19,51 en G5 y 18,04 en G6; no hubo diferencia significativa entre el grupo no expuesto a la radiación (G1) y el grupo ELM al 15% en crema (G7), ambos presentaron los menores grosores (12,76 y 14,20 µm, respectivamente). El FPS de ELM al 15% en crema fue 5,480 ± 0,020.La formulación con ELM en crema presentó actividad fotoprotectora frente a la irradiación UV, los alcaloides fueron los componentes fitoquímicos mayormente encontrados y la formulación fue compatible con el activo (ELM).

OBJETIVO: Analisar a prevalência e fatores de risco para queimadura solar em jovens com idade entre 10 e 29 anos. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal de base populacional com amostragem em múltiplos estágios, realizado com residentes da zona urbana de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, entre os meses de outubro e dezembro de 2005. Para a coleta de dados foram feitas entrevistas com 1.604 indivíduos, utilizando questionário padronizado e pré-codificado com informações sobre a família e outro questionário aos indivíduos com idade entre dez e 29 anos para avaliação da ocorrência de episódios de queimadura solar. Queimadura solar foi definida como ardência na pele após exposição ao sol. Para as comparações entre proporções, utilizou-se teste do qui-quadrado com correção de Yates. Na análise multivariada utilizou-se a regressão de Poisson com controle para efeito de delineamento e ajuste robusto da variância. RESULTADOS: Das pessoas com idade entre 10 e 29 anos, 1.412 relataram exposição ao sol no último verão. As perdas e recusas somaram 5,5%. Queimadura solar no último ano foi relatada por 48,7% dos entrevistados. As variáveis associadas à ocorrência de queimadura segundo a análise multivariada foram: cor da pele branca (RP=1,41; IC 95%: 1,12;1,79), maior sensibilidade da pele quando exposta ao sol (RP=1,84; IC 95%: 1,64;2,06), idade entre 15 e 19 anos (RP=1,30; IC 95%: 1,12;1,50), pertencer ao quartil de maior renda (RP=1,20; IC 95%: 1,01;1,42) e fazer uso irregular de fotoprotetor (RP=1,23; IC 95%: 1,08;1,42). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de queimadura solar na população estudada foi alta, principalmente entre jovens, de pele branca, com maior sensibilidade da pele, de maior renda e que faziam uso irregular de fotoprotetor. A exposição solar em horários seguros e com métodos de proteção adequados deve ser estimulada.OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and risk factors for sunburn in young people. METHODS: Population-based cross-sectional study using a multiple-stage sampling carried out with people living in the urban area of Pelotas, Southern Brazil, between October and December 2005. Data was collected from interviews with 1.604 subjects using a standardized pre-coded questionnaire about their family and another questionnaire applied to those aged between ten and 29 years for assessing the occurrence of sunburn episodes. Sunburn was defined as skin burning after sun exposure. Chi-square test with Yates' correction was used to compare proportions and Poisson regression with design effect control and robust adjustment of variance was applied in the multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Of those aged between 10 and 29 years, 1,412 reported sun exposure in the last summer. Losses and refusals were 5.5%. A total of 48.7% of the interviewees reported sunburn in the last year. The following variables were associated with sunburn in the multivariate analysis: white skin (PR=1.41; 95% CI: 1.12;1.79); higher skin sensitivity to sun exposure (PR=1.84; 95% CI: 1.64;2.06); age between 15 and 19 years (PR=1.30; 95% CI: 1.12;1.50); belonging to the higher quartile of income (PR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.01;1.42); and irregular use of sunscreens (PR=1.23; 95% CI: 1.08;1.42). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of sunburn in the population studied was high mainly among white young people with higher skin sensitivity, higher income and who used sunscreens irregularly. Sun exposure during safe times and with adequate protection should be promoted.

Este artigo explora a relação entre variáveis sócio-demográficas e comportamentais com proteção solar, levando-se em consideração as diferenças regionais existentes. Um inquérito de base populacional foi realizado em 15 capitais brasileiras e Distrito Federal, e as informações sobre exposição solar foram coletadas para um total de 16.999 indivíduos de 15 anos ou mais. Quando comparamos os indivíduos residentes nas regiões Norte e Sul do país, as diferenças brutas entre mulheres e homens nas proporções de utilização do protetor solar e do chapéu foram, respectivamente, para a Região Norte, +10,9% (IC95%: 7,1; 14,6) e -11,6% (IC95%: -17,0; -6,3), e Sul do país, +21,3% (IC95%: 17,7; 24,9) e -16,0% (IC95%: -20,2; -12,5). As diferenças ajustadas confirmaram que, tanto no Norte quanto no Sul do país, as mulheres mais freqüentemente utilizaram como proteção o filtro solar e menos freqüentemente referiram o uso de chapéu do que os homens. Contudo, essas diferenças não foram homogêneas entre as re- giões (termos de interação p < 0,05).This article examines region-specific relations between prevalence of protection against sunlight and socio-demographic and behavioral variables in Brazil. Data were derived from a cross-sectional population-based random sample. Information on sunlight exposure was available for a total of 16,999 individuals 15 years and older. Comparing the North and South of Brazil, crude differences between women and men in the use of "sunscreen" and "protective headwear" were +10.9% (95%CI: 7.1; 14.6) and -11.6% (95%CI: -17.0; -6.3) in the North and +21.3% (95%CI: 17.7; 24.9) and -16.0% (95%CI: -20.2; -12.5) in the South. Adjusted differences by selected variables confirmed that women use more sunscreen protection and less headwear protection as compared to men in both the North and South, but the difference was not homogeneous by region (interaction term p value < 0.05).

Resumen INTRODUCCIÓN : La radiación ultravioleta solar puede resultar perjudicial para la salud y provocar desde quemaduras hasta enfermedades como el cáncer, por ello, el cuidado frente a la alta radiación solar es importante. OBJETIVOS : El objetivo general del presente estudio fue determinar si existe asociación entre los conocimientos y las prácticas sobre foto protecciónen los bañistas peruanos. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS : Se realizó un estudio trasversal analítico con 380 bañistas peruanos en ocho playas de Lima. Los participantes respondieron un cuestionario donde se recopiló información de los conocimientos y las prácticas de foto protección. Los conocimientos se categorizaron en altos y bajos, y las prácticas en adecuadas e inadecuadas. Para el análisis se empleó la prueba de Chi cuadrado de Pearson y el modelo de regresión de Poisson ajustado por la edad, sexo, nivel educativo y estado civil. RESULTADOS : Se encontró que la práctica de protección adecuada más frecuente fue el uso de foto protector(63%) y la menos frecuente fue el uso adecuado de manga larga y pantalón largo (9,7%). También se evidenció una relación entre los conocimientos altos y tres prácticas fundamentales: uso de foto protector, sombrilla y lentes de sol. CONCLUSIONES : En la muestra de bañistas peruanos, los participantes reportaronde manera general prácticas de foto proteccióndeficientes; además, el poseer conocimientos acerca de la protección solar no aseguró una práctica adecuada de todas las medidas de foto protección. Abstract INTRODUCTION : Ultraviolet rays can have damaging health effects and cause from sunburn all the way up to diseases such as cancer. Thus, precautionary measures against intense solar radiation are important. OBJECTIVES: The overall objective of this study was to determine whether there is an association between photoprotection knowledge and practices in Peruvianbeach-goers. MATERIALS AND METHODS : An analytical cross-sectional study comparing survey and observational data obtained from 380 Peruvians at eight beaches in Lima was conducted. The participants answered a questionnaire where knowledge was categorized into high and low, and reported practices were dichotomized as appropriate and inappropriate. For variable analysis, Chi square test of Pearson and Poisson regression model adjusted for age, sex, education level and marital status were used. RESULTS : It was found that the most common reported appropriate practice of photoprotection was the use of sunscreen (63%) and the least frequent was the appropriate use of a long sleeve t-shirt and long pants (9.7%). It was also evident that there is a significant relationship between high knowledge and three core practices, including use of sunscreen, beach umbrellas and sunglasses. CONCLUSIONS : In this sample of Peruvian beach-goers, participants generally reported poor photoprotection practices; furthermore, knowledge about sun protection did not assure the practice of all photoprotection measures.

A pesar de los beneficios del sol, este puede convertirse en un terrible enemigo para la piel, induciendo el fotoenvejecimiento y en algunos casos fotocarcinogénesis. Esto hace necesario el uso constante de protectores solares que se elaboran sobre la base de principios activos que protegen mediante diversos mecanismos. Con este trabajo se pretendió evaluar la capacidad protectora de la zeolita contra las radiaciones ultravioletas y determinar el factor de protección solar de las formulaciones mediante el método espectrofotométrico, utilizando la ecuación de Mansur. La zeolita fue incorporada a una crema aceite en agua a diferentes concentraciones (2, 4 y 6 %), que fueron evaluadas espectrofotométricamente, utilizando como patrones de comparación formulaciones de dióxido de titanio (TiO2) (2, 4 y 6 %) y como estándar comercial al ESCALOL ISP VAN DIK. También se determinó la capacidad fotoprotectora mediante la técnica de fotoprotección con el uso de bacterias (E. coli), tomando como control positivo el estándar comercial. El análisis espectrofotométrico demostró que la zeolita absorbe en el rango UVB al igual que las formulaciones que contienen TiO2, y se observó en las formulaciones con zeolita (4 y 6 %) un alto efecto de reflectancia, fenómeno reportado para el TiO2. Los resultados de la técnica de fotoprotección con el uso de bacterias mostraron que en los cultivos protegidos con zeolita, igual que los protegidos con ESCALOL, se observó un mayor número de poblaciones de bacterias sobrevivientes en comparación a los cultivos sin protecciónDespite its benefits, the sun may become a terrible enemy of the skin by inducing photoaging and in some cases photocarcinogenesis. This makes it necessary to permanently use sunscreens produced on the basis of active principles that provide protection through various mechanisms. This paper was intended to evaluate the protective capacity of zeolite to UV radiations and determine the sun protection factor of formulations by spectrometry with Mansur´s equation. Zeolite was added to an oil cream in water at different concentrations (2, 4 and 6%) which were spectrometrically examined using titanium dioxide (TiO2) formulations (2, 4 and 6%) ans comparison patterns and ESCALOL ISP VAN DIK as commercial standard. Also the photoprotective capacity was determined by the photoprotection technique with bacteria (E. coli), taking the commercial standard as a positive control. The spectrophotometric analysis showed that just like TiO2 formulations, zeolite absorbs UVB; furthermore a high reflectance effect, a phenomenum found in TiO2 was observed in zeolite formulations ( 4 & 6%). The results of photoprotection techinque using bacteria indicated that in both zeolite and ESCALOL-protected cultures there was a higher number of surviving bacterial populations than in unprotected cultures

Sunburn, immunodepression, photoaging, and photocarcinogenesis, are some of the most significant adverse effects of solar radiation in humans. Children are a population group of special vulnerability, due to the fact that exposure to the sun has more pronounced biological effects compared to adults. Furthermore, childhood is a critical period for promoting the development of photo damage and photocarcinogenesis in the later stages of life if adequate measures are not put into place. This is because it is estimated that between 18 and 20 years of age 40–50% of the accumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation up to 60 years of age is received. The most important strategy for the photoprotection of children is changes in behaviour and habits associated with exposure to the sun at all levels (school, society, family, etc.). Resorting to the shade, reduction in overall time of exposure to the sun, and physical protection (clothes, hats, and sunglasses) are the best and least costly photoprotection strategies. The photoprotectors must be incorporated into the daily routine of children in the same way as adults, and must complete a series of requirements in order to make them effective, safe, and in line with the environment. Resumen: Las quemaduras solares, la inmunodepresión, el fotoenvejecimiento y la fotocarcinogénesis son algunos de los efectos adversos más importantes de la radiación solar en el ser humano. Los niños son un grupo poblacional de especial vulnerabilidad debido a que en ellos la exposición solar tiene efectos biológicos más pronunciados en comparación con los adultos. Por otro lado, la infancia es un periodo crítico para promover el desarrollo de fotodaño y fotocarcinogénesis en etapas más tardías de la vida si no se ponen las medidas adecuadas, ya que se estima que entre los 18 y 20 años de edad se recibe del 40-50% de la exposición acumulativa a la radiación ultravioleta hasta la edad de 60 años. La estrategia más importante para la fotoprotección de los niños son las modificaciones de comportamiento y hábitos relacionados con la exposición al sol a todos los niveles (colegio, sociedad, familia, etc.). El recurso de la sombra, la reducción del tiempo global de exposición al sol y la protección física (ropa, sombreros y gafas de sol) representan las mejores y menos costosas estrategias de fotoprotección. Los fotoprotectores deben incorporarse a la rutina diaria de los niños, de la misma manera que los adultos, y deben cumplir una serie de requisitos que los hagan eficaces, seguros y comprometidos con el medio ambiente.

Objetivos: determinar los conocimientos y hábitos de exposición solar en comerciantes ambulantes alrededor de un mercado de Chiclayo. Materiales y métodos: Se aplicó un cuestionario a 291 comerciantes ambulantes ubicados alrededor del mercado Modelo de Chiclayo, que evaluaron los hábitos de exposición solar, medidas de foto protección, antecedentes de quemaduras solares y cáncer de piel, asi como conocimientos de radiación ultravioleta y fuentes de información. Resultados: se encontraron los siguientes resultados: los rangos de edades fueron, 18-25 (42,3%), 36-54 (38,1%), 55 -78 (19,6%). En nivel de educación, el 13,1% tiene primaria completa, el 32.6% tiene secundaria completa y el 8,2% superior completa. Al momento del estudio el 71,9% llevaban más de 3 años trabajando como comerciantes ambulantes. Los fototipo de los participantes fueron fototipo I (0,3%), fototipo II (4,5%), fototipo III (24,7%), fototipo IV (48,8%), fototipo V (19,6%), fototipo VI (2,15). Un 90 ± 3.5%% reconoce que causa cáncer de piel, un 53,6% reconoce que una característica del envejecimiento de la piel por radiación son las manchas y verrugas, un 56% respondió que la radiación solar causa cataratas, un 52,92% respondió que la gente de piel blanca es más sensible a los rayos del sol. El 59.5% de los comerciantes señaló acudir a laborar de lunes a domingo, un 39,4% trabaja de 5-6 días a la semana, y un 4,1% trabaja 4 o menos días a la semana. Un 48.5% de ellos declararon exponerse más de 6 horas a los rayos solares, un 24,7% se expone de 3 – 6 horas al día, mientras que el 8,6% registraron el menor tiempo de exposición solar (0 – 2 horas). El 75,3% no utiliza bloqueador solar, el 24,7% de comerciantes utilizaban protector solar al momento de ser encuestados como medida de fotoprotección; de ellos, el 63,9% manifestaron que un familiar les recomendó su uso, el 94,4% lo usa de 1-2 veces al día, el 38.9% solo se lo aplica cuando va a laborar, 52.8% lo usa en cara, cuello, orejas y manos, y la mitad de ellos (50.0%) lo obtiene de un catálogo. Conclusiones: los conocimientos y hábitos de exposición solar en los comerciantes ambulantes resultaron iguales o inferiores a lo descrito en otros estudios. Se encontró que los conocimientos son de regular a adecuado y los hábitos deficientes.

- Abstract
Skin cancer deaths continue to rise despite the implementation of numerous preventive campaigns and programs. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate reviews of primary and secondary skin cancer prevention strategies as reported over the past 10 years. We analyzed 63 systematic reviews and meta-analyses: 30 (46.6%) addressing primary interventions and 35 (55.6%) addressing secondary interventions. Two of the reviews covered both. The most widely reported primary prevention approaches were education programs (63.3%), followed by risk modeling to identify individuals at high risk for melanoma (17.6%), and the promotion of sunscreen use (11.8%). The most widely reported secondary prevention measures concerned imaging systems for early skin cancer detection (40%), smartphones and new technologies (22.9%), and visual diagnosis in population-based screening (17.4%). The most effective measures were primary prevention education programs to improve sun protection habits., (Copyright © 2022 AEDV. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
UV filters are used daily by millions of people. Not all of these filters, however, are 100% biodegradable, and many wastewater treatments plants are ill-equipped to filter them properly. As a result, UV filters are increasingly reaching the environment. Various types have been detected in soil, continental water, oceans, and numerous organisms, including algae, corals, fish, mammals, and even land birds. In addition, some filters, benzophenone-3 and octocrylene in particular, are toxic to these organisms. Toxic effects include coral bleaching and interference with metabolic, enzymatic, and reproductive activities in practically all organisms. Preliminary data suggest that UV filters may be bioaccumulating in humans, as they have been detected in urine and breast milk. It should be noted, however, that research into the environmental impact of UV filters holds challenges and limitations., (Copyright © 2022 AEDV. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

Durante las últimas décadas se ha hecho énfasis en el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de inmovilización que permitan prolongar el tiempo de vida de una sustancia con el objetivo de mejorar su eficacia. En la actualidad los sistemas más utilizados para controlar la liberación de los principios activos son los sistemas de encapsulación (liposomas) y los sistemas de secuestro o matriciales (nanosferas). Ambos constituyen una alternativa de inmovilización por su composición química, la posibilidad de incorporar sustancias con características químicas bien definidas, la modificación de la superficie de estas estructuras, así como la incorporación de grupos funcionales permite dirigir los activos de forma intacta hacia el sitio de acción y la factibilidad de obtener preparados con diferente carga superficial, talla y fluidez en dependencia del objetivo deseado. Presentan una cinética de liberación del activo bien característica. Con estos sistemas se han abierto nuevas oportunidades para la inmovilización de activos antioxidantes y su utilización en la cosmética, así como en la biomedicina para el diagnóstico y la terapéutica de diversas enfermedadesDuring the last few decades, emphasis has been made on the development of new immobilization systems that allow to extend lifetime of a substance so as to improve its efficacy. At present, the most used systems for controlling the release of active principles are encapsulation systems (liposomes) and sequestering or matrix systems (nanosfers). Both are immobilization alternatives because of their chemical composition, their possibility of adding substances with well-defined chemical characteristics, the change of these structures´ surface and the incorporation of functional groups, which allows to direct the intact actives to the site of action, and the feasibility of obtaining preparations with different surface charge, size and fluidity depending on the objective of the work. They present a characteristic active release kinetics. These systems have opened up new opportunities for the immobilization of antioxidant actives and their use in cosmetics as well as in biomedicine for the diagnosis and treatment of various diases

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: The incidence of skin cancer in our society is growing at an alarming rate due to overexposure to solar UV radiation in recreational and occupational settings. The aim of this study was to evaluate sun exposure and protection attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge among mountain ultramarathon runners and to assess risk factors for sunburn in this population., Material and Methods: Cross-sectional survey of runners who participated in the «Gran Trail Aneto-Posets» race in Aragon, Spain. Using a validated questionnaire, we collected data on sociodemographic characteristics, running experience, sunburn in the previous summer, and sun exposure and protection behaviors. We calculated descriptive statistics and performed bivariate and multivariate analyses of associations using history of sunburn as the primary outcome. Statistical significance was set at a p level of less than 0.05., Results: We surveyed 657 runners (72.1% men) with a mean age of 39.71 years; 45.1% reported sunburn in the past year. The most common protective measures used were sunglasses (74.7%), sunscreen (sun protection factor ≥ 15) (61.9%), a hat (52.2%), and other protective clothing (7.4%). Risk factors for sunburn were younger age, low Fitzpatrick skin type (I and II), running for three or more hours a day, and staying in the shade as a protective measure. By contrast, protective factors were use of sunscreen and seeking shade rather than sun at midday (p < 0.001)., Conclusions: Sunburn is common among long-distance mountain runners, despite what appears to be adequate sun protection knowledge and behaviors. Targeted strategies are needed to improve sun protection behaviors among mountain runners., (Copyright © 2020 AEDV. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Introducción: la exposición a la radiación ultravioleta durante la infancia y la adolescencia juega un papel trascendente en el desarrollo futuro del cáncer de piel. Los niños se exponen al sol tres veces más que los adultos y antes de los 21 años se ha recibido entre el 50 y el 80 % de la radiación solar total. Objetivo: conocer qué saben los padres de la población objetivo sobre los efectos del sol en la piel y los ojos, y cuáles son sus hábitos de fotoprotección, los de sus hijos y los factores relacionados con ello. Métodos: estudio transversal a padres de niños que concurrieron a la policlínica de Dermatología Pediátrica del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell durante los meses de octubre 2013 a enero 2014. Resultados: se entrevistó a un total de 100 padres, la media de edad de los hijos fue de 7,85 años, el 62% de los niños eran provenientes de familias de bajo nivel socioeconómico y educacional. El 43% de los encuestados respondió que le gusta estar bronceados, en comparación con un 28% que no le gusta. La medida de fotoprotección más utilizada tanto por padres (73%) como por hijos (86%) fue el protector solar, seguida de los lentes de sol en los adultos y del uso rutinario de sombrero en los niños. Conclusiones: los métodos utilizados se basan en gran medida en el uso de protectores solares con un uso inadecuado de los mismos en gran parte de los encuestados. Introduction: exposure to ultraviolet radiation during childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the future development of skin cancer. Children are three times more sun exposed than adults. Before age 21, people receive between 50 and 80% of the total solar radiation throughout their lives. Objective: to determine what parents know about the impact of the sun on the skin and eyes, and to learn about their photoprotective habits for them and their children and some associated factors. Methods: a cross-sectional study to parents of children who were seen at the Pediatric Dermatology Unit of CHPR during the months of October 2013 to January 2014. Results: a total of 100 surveys were conducted, the average age of the children was 7.85 years old, 62% of the children came from families of low socioeconomic status. 43% of respondents declared who like to be tan, compared to 28% who did not like it. The most widely used photoprotective measure by both parents (73%) and children (86%) was sunscreen, followed by sunglasses in adults and the routine use of a cap by children. Conclusions: the photoprotection method used is based largely, on sunscreen but with an improper use in most of the respondents.

Resumen El cáncer de piel es el tipo de cáncer cuya tasa de incidencia ha aumentado más en el mundo. La exposición a la radiación ultravioleta (RUV) durante la infancia y la adolescencia juega un papel trascendente en el desarrollo futuro del cáncer de piel, ya que los niños protegidos correctamente de las RUV tienen 78% menos riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de piel en su vida adulta. Las medidas de fotoprotección son recomendables en todas las edades, pero en la población infantil y juvenil deben ser más intensas, ya que los niños son más susceptibles que los adultos a las radiaciones UV Summary Skin cancer is the type of cancer whose incidence rate has increased the most in the world. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) during childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the future development of skin cancer, since children properly protected from UVR have 78% lower risk of developing skin cancer in their adult lives. Sun protection measures are recommended for all ages, but in children and young people it should be more intense since children are more susceptible than adults to UV radiation

Background: Ultraviolet light exposure has a pathogenic effect on the development of skin cancer, whose prevalence increases worldwide. In Chile and the rest of the world, preventive educational campaigns are carried out to change high risk sun exposure behaviors. Aim: To study the behavior of the Chilean population towards skin cancer prevention and to identify erroneous preventive practices and concepts. Material and methods: A survey containing 17 questions about sun exposure behaviors, photoprotective measures and knowledge about ultraviolet radiation and skin cancer was used. It was applied during January and February 2004, to 1,143 subjects (mean age 30 years, 409 males), taking vacations in beach resorts in Chile. Results: The hours of higher sun exposure ranged from 12 AM to 4 PM. Thirty seven percent of subjects were exposed more than 2 hours during this high risk lapse. Women and subjects aged less than 25 years were those with the riskiest behaviors. Fifty four percent used some type of photoprotection and 50% used ocular protection. Seventy percent used creams with sun screen and 74% used a sun protection factor higher than 15. Seventy percent applied the sun screen as recommended. Thirty eight percent had at least one sun burn in the last two years. More than 90% of subjects were aware of the relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer but 60% did not know the hours of higher ultraviolet radiation. The information about sun exposure was obtained from television in 57% of surveyed individuals. Conclusions: More educational campaigns about the risk of sun exposure are needed to reduce risky behaviors in the Chilean population
