A worldwide epidemiological study on solar protection

- May. 2022
EVERY YEAR, SOLAR UV EXPOSURE CAUSES SKIN CANCERS, PREMATURE
PHOTOAGING AND OTHER SKIN TROUBLES. A LARGE-SCALE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL
STUDY CONDUCTED BY LA ROCHE-POSAY IN 2021 REVEALS THAT SOLAR
PROTECTION HABITS ARE STILL INSUFFICIENT, WITH A LARGE PART OF THE
POPULATION MISINFORMED ABOUT THE RISKS OF SUN EXPOSURE. AMONG
THE SURVEYED PEOPLE, 57% REGRET NOT HAVING PROTECTED THEMSELVES
ENOUGH FROM SUN RISKS. AS CANCER INCIDENCE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN THE
COMING YEARS, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT SUN EXPOSURE RISKS AND
PROMOTING THE USE OF SUNSCREEN ARE KEY TO PROTECT PEOPLE’S SKIN HEALTH.
