The study found that the use of physical and chemical sun protection measures was associated with a lower occurrence of actinic cheilitis in individuals with longer sun exposure.
Objective To determine whether sun protection is associated with lower occurrence of actinic cheilitis in adults living in a city from southern Brazil. Materials and Methods A multi-stage proportional sample of 404 individuals 18 years and older was obtained. Interviews and clinical examinations were conducted in participants' households. Four categories of self-reported use of sun protection were determined. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to assess the associations. Results Prevalence of actinic cheilitis was 47.1%. In the first main-effects multivariable model, AC was significantly associated with sex, age, skin colour and duration of sun exposure, but not with sun protection. However, the association between sun protection and actinic cheilitis was modified by the time of sun exposure. Among those exposed >= 4 hr/day to sun, individuals using physical protection or physical + chemical protection were 33% (prevalence ratio = 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.47-0.94, p = .02) and 36% (PR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.47-0.94, p = .02), respectively, less likely to have actinic cheilitis than those who did not use any sun protection, adjusting for sex, age and skin colour. Conclusions Physical and chemical sun protection were associated with lower occurrence of actinic cheilitis in individuals with greater exposure to sun.
