Abstract

Background: Snow reflectivity and altitude increase the exposure of ski resort workers to solar ultraviolet radiation. The aim was to assess the presence of skin cancer in ski resorts workers and compare it with other groups of outdoor workers reviewing published studies.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in the three largest ski resorts in Spain: Baqueira Beret, Lleida; Formigal, Huesca and Sierra Nevada, Granada. All outdoor workers including ski instructors were invited to participate in the study. The participants completed a validated questionnaire about sun exposure and underwent a skin examination.

Results: 219 workers were included in the study (80% male; mean age 43.8 (SD 11.31) years). Actinic keratosis (AK) but no other skin cancers were detected in 32 participants (14.62%). Those with AK worked in the Southernmost ski resort, were more likely to have light colour hair, and were older and with higher photoaging grade than those without them.

Conclusion: Compared to other studies, outdoor workers on ski resorts show a higher prevalence of AK than general population but a lower prevalence than other groups of outdoor workers.

滑雪场户外工作者的皮肤癌发病率。

背景：雪的反射率和海拔高度增加了滑雪场工作人员暴露于太阳紫外线辐射的程度。研究的目的是评估滑雪场工作人员是否患有皮肤癌，并通过回顾已发表的研究将其与其他户外工作者群体进行比较：在西班牙最大的三个滑雪场进行了一项横断面前瞻性观察研究：方法：在西班牙三个最大的滑雪场进行了一项观察性横断面前瞻性研究，这三个滑雪场是：莱里达的巴凯拉贝雷特滑雪场、韦斯卡的福米格尔滑雪场和格拉纳达的内华达山脉滑雪场。包括滑雪教练在内的所有户外工作者都应邀参加了这项研究。结果：219 名工人（80% 为男性；平均年龄 43.8 岁（标准差 11.31 岁））参与了研究。在 32 名参与者（14.62%）中发现了光化性角化病（AK），但未发现其他皮肤癌。患有 AK 的人在最南端的滑雪胜地工作，与没有 AK 的人相比，他们更有可能拥有浅色头发，年龄更大，光老化等级更高：结论：与其他研究相比，滑雪场户外工作者的 AK 患病率高于普通人群，但低于其他户外工作者群体。
