- Abstract
Future efforts should target high-frequency tanners given their tanning persistence and melanoma risk. A meta-analysis found a 1.8% increase in melanoma risk (95% CI: 0%-3.8%) per additional indoor tanning session.[1] Thus, indoor tanners in recent years may be at higher risk for developing melanoma. Indoor tanning is associated with increased melanoma risk, with an associated dose-response relationship between the number of indoor tanning sessions and melanoma risk.[1] The percentage of U.S. adults tanning indoors has declined from 14.1% in 2005 to 4.1% in 2015.[2] However, it is unclear how the behaviors of indoor tanners have changed as indoor tanning becomes less prevalent overall.
