a

The numbers of subjects in some of the strata were less than the total number of subjects because some subjects did not provide information.

b

ORs were adjusted for age, sex, skin color, eye color, hair color, tanning ability, lifetime number of sunburns with blistering, freckling in the sun as a child, presence of moles and dysplastic nevi, and family history of cancer in a multivariate logistic regression model.
