“…Some investigations show a CMM‐generating effect of sun bed use (59,60), while other investigations show no such effect, or even protective effects (61,62). It has been stated that the discrepancies may be related to methodological shortcomings (63,64), and that one has to wait for further results before firm conclusions can be drawn. A Norwegian investigation indicated that a relatively large melanoma risk might result from sun bed use (60).…”

The 2 objectives of this work were: (1) To determine whether repeated exposures to small doses from a commercial sun bed (Wolff Solarium Super Plus 100 W) over 5 weeks gave less vitamin D than repeated exposures to twice as large, but still nonerythemogenic, doses. (2) To investigate whether the contribution to the vitamin D status from such sessions of exposures was dependent on the baseline status before the start of the sessions. (3) To determine the decay rate of the induced increment of vitamin D. The sun bed sessions raised the 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels from typical winter values to typical summer values the mean value after exposure being 80 nM (±14) and the increase being 15 nM on average. Persons with the lowest initial levels got the largest increase. The level in this group was back to the pre-exposure level after 2-4 weeks. To maintain a summer level through the winter, when no vitamin D is produced by the sun in northern countries, one should consider increasing the recommended intake of vitamin D intake significantly, or encouraging the population to get moderate, nonerythemal sun bed exposures.

“…Sunbeds provide artificial sources of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for tanning purposes 1,2 and are available in Australia in commercial tanning centres (solariums). A recent systematic review of 19 epidemiological and biological studies on sunbed use found significantly increased risks of melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma among users, in particular in those with exposure to sunbeds before age 35 3…”

“…This is not surprising, given that the widespread use of tanning devices is a relatively recent phenomenon. Swerdlow and Weinstock (40) and Autier (61) who reviewed the available publications in 1998 and 2002, respectively, drew attention to methodological limitations and outcome contradictions that preclude definitive conclusions from the available studies. Autier (61) stated 'there is still no conclusive evidence on the influence of sunbed use on melanoma occurrence'.…”

The use of UVB and/or UVA emitting devices for cosmetic tanning is widespread in Western populations including young people and is especially prevalent in females. Several epidemiological studies, although not all, have shown a significant relationship between the use of tanning devices and malignant melanoma after, in some cases, adjustment for confounding factors such as solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. A relationship between solar exposure, especially intermittent exposure, and malignant melanoma is well established so it is not surprising that a similar connection has been reported for the use of tanning devices. Several epidemiological studies show that childhood exposure to sunlight is a risk factor for malignant melanoma and this may also be the case for the use of tanning devices, especially if sunburns are obtained.Some studies have evaluated the relationship between the use of tanning devices and non-melanoma skin cancer and at least one has suggested an association. The use of tanning devices by a substantial minority of young people is a worrying trend in terms of a likely increased incidence of malignant melanoma, and possibly non-melanoma cancers in the future. Although two recent reviews by epidemiologists conclude that a clear link between tanning devices and malignant melanoma is yet to be proven, there is a strong case for effective legislation to prohibit the use of tanning devices by people under 18 yr of age.
