Benjamin C. Vitasa,Hugh R. Taylor,Paul T. Strickland,Frank S. Rosenthal,Sheila K. West,Helen Abbey,See Ket Ng,Beatriz Munoz,Edward A. Emmett +8 more
TL;DR: Logistic regression showed that an older age, childhood freckling, and blue eyes significantly increased the risk of the development of all three types of skin tumor, which suggests that high levels of ultraviolet‐B exposure are important in SCC occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors Associated with Falls and Injuries among Elderly Institutionalized Persons
