Too few young people are aware of the Dangers of sunbeds: survey

of many of the United States tanning salons warn teenagers and young women about skin cancer risks posed by tanning beds, according to a new survey.

The American Academy of survey online Dermatology included more than 3,800 white females 14 to 22 years from across the country who were questioned on their knowledge of tanning, attitudes and behaviours.

The survey revealed that 43% of indoor tanners said that they did had never been warned about the dangers of sunbeds tanning salon employees, and 30% reported that they had not noticed any warning labels on tanning beds.

And the survey revealed some potentially fatal misunderstandings on tanning beds.

(Aged 14 to 17 years) younger tanning bed users were two times more likely than older users (18 to 22 years old) of wrong to believe that tanning beds are safer than the Sun (39% versus 15%) and more than three times as likely to mistakenly believe that the beds of Tan does not skin cancer cause (26% vs. 8%), according to the results of.

"Tanning presents a significant risk to health, especially for [White] because of their skin. Studies have shown that UV [] ultraviolet tanning beds increases risk of melanoma by 75 percent, "Dr. Ronald l. Moy, President of the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA), stated in a release academy."

"Contributing to this problem is the fact that currently sunbed facilities are not required to notify oral patrons of health risks known UV radiation and, in some cases, they can be misleading the public by promoting false artificial UV light as safer than the light of the Sun".He added.

AVG has noted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration currently classifies tanning beds as a class I medical device. This means that they are subjected to a level similar to bandages, tongue depressors, crutches, minimum regulation and monitoring.

"This is why it is important that the FDA amend classification of tanning equipment to take account of the important health risks that they pose, often without knowing it, tanning salon users," said Moy.

The AADA supports tanning bed Cancer Control Act, which calls for the FDA to review its classification of sunbeds and introduce the increased consumption of warning label rules for devices.

Survey shows the Dangers of tanning does not hit home (HealthDay)

 Although studies have shown that tanning raises your risk of melanoma of fatal cancer of the skin by a staggering 75 per 100, a new study reveals that women continue to be used at an alarming rate tanning beds.

In the course of the last year, 32% of young women from 3 800 challenged by the American Academy of Dermatology survey said that they had visited a tanning salon. In fact, 25% of those who tanned admitted to absorb ultraviolet (UV) of Interior beds at least once a week, on average. In addition, 81% of respondents also tanned outside, either frequently or occasionally.

Young women were most at risk, according to the survey. More specifically, 18-22 years were almost twice as likely that 14 to 17 years have to use a tanning bed.

"Exposure to UV radiation is the main risk factor for skin cancer, yet - despite this knowledge - mass exodus of adolescents and young women is tributary of tanning bed and beaches or pools of tanning facilities each year".President of the Academy and dermatologist Dr. Ronald l. Moy said in a press release of the Academy.

"The challenge is that adolescents have access to indoor tanning on almost every corner salons." A recent survey of 116 U.S. cities found an average of 42 rooms in the city, which means Tan tanning salons are more frequent than Starbucks or McDonalds. We are very concerned that this behavior of tanning result in a continued increase in the incidence of cancer of the skin among young people and, ultimately, most late deaths from this disease, devastating "Added Moy."

Melanoma rates increased for the past three decades, particularly among young white women, the Academy noted. If the trend continues, one in five Americans will develop cancer of the skin in their lives. The figures worrying encouraged U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and International Centre of research the world Organization of the health on the Cancer Panel to declare the UV rays of the Sun and artificial sources of light as a carcinogen.

"Our survey underlines the importance of the education of young women on the very real risks of tanning, as the melanoma - the deadliest skin cancer form - increases more rapidly among women 15 to 29 years than men of the same age group," said Moy. "" "". In my practice, I have had patients - young women with a history of the use of sunbeds - who died of melanoma. ?

More than half of children in car seats themselves, detached Survey Finds (HealthDay)

If you think a properly installed car seat is guaranteed to protect your child, think again: a new study finds that children often unfasten the seat belts, to their own put themselves at risk in a car accident.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Lilia b. Reyes, a clinical fellow in the Department of Pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine surveyed 378 parents and revealed that more than half that at least one of their children had managed to unfasten the seat belt in a seat at a given time.

Children who seconded their seat belt, 75% are aged 3 years or less; Some were as old as 78 months, or more than six years. Some detached the belt at the age of 12 months. Boys were more likely to be than girls (59% vs 42%).

More than 40 per cent of children who seconded their seat belt made, while the car was moving, increasing the risk of serious injury by 3.5 times. Answer the most common parents have reported was making the car more, reprimanding the child and rebuckling the seat of the car.

"We found that young children could acquire motor skills to unbuckle constraints before developing the cognitive capacity to understand the need for motor restrictions", Reyes said in a press release from Yale. "Perhaps locks with passive safety on seat belt can be developed, as a possible option for the action." It is our duty to ensure the security of valuable cargo. ?

Car accidents are the leading cause of death among children aged 4 to 8.

The study was to be presented Sunday at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Denver. Research presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary because there were not subjected to review by peers who are articles published in medical journals in General.
