Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly.Any opinions expressed in this series are those of the author(s) and not those of DIW Berlin.Research disseminated by DIW Berlin may include views on public policy issues, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions.

“…All studies that examined age at first exposure found an increased risk for melanoma when exposure started before approximately 30 years of age, with a summary RR of 1.75 (1.35-2.26). Hirst et al (2009) conducted a similar meta-analysis, based on the same studies used by the IARC meta-analysis, but including an additional nested case-control study of melanoma (Han et al, 2006), bringing the total number of melanoma cases to 7,855 and the total number of controls in analysis to 24,209. A significant excess risk of approximately 20% was estimated for melanoma in relation to ever versus never use of sunbeds (Meta-RR= 1.22; 95% CI 1.07-1.39).…”

“…However, the morbidity associated with the treatment of these two types of skin cancer-surgical and otherwise-along with the avoidable costs to healthcare systems to treat them, are substantial. 9 The pooled findings of this second updated meta-analysis showed a significant positive association between indoor tanning and the development of basal cell carcinoma (ever use pooled relative risk 1.29), with some evidence of a dose-response association (high dose pooled relative risk 1.50). The increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma and the higher risks of both cancers associated with exposure in early life (in this case before age 25 years) were confirmed; sensitivity analyses by study features, including adjustment for important confounders, did not materially alter the results.…”
