Analyses were conducted on a subset of non-Hispanic white subjects reporting a history of previous NMSC with complete data, using pooled data from the 2005 and 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
At least one sunburn reported in the last year
Percentages are weighted according to U.S. census data and reported with standard error (SE) measurements; weighted percentages (Wt %) may not add up to 100% due to rounding
The model used to generate the prevalence odds ratio (POR) estimates included all listed covariates
Certain response categories were collapsed (sun sensitivity of “no sunburn” and “no change”; BMI of <18.5 and 18.5–<25.0) in this analyses for stable estimates
P-value for linear trend was computed using the Wald statistic, treating the categorized exposure variable as a continuous variable.
