“…In this case, it may be that golf participants are more likely to have regular skin checks than the general population due to public information campaigns on the risks associated with increased sun exposure. Self-report bias has been shown to underestimate the true prevalence of medical conditions 28. It is possible that the true prevalence of skin cancer was underestimated in both the sample of golf participants and the general population-based sample.…”

ObjectiveTo estimate the age-specific lifetime prevalence of skin cancer in a sample of Australian golf participants and estimate skin cancer risk in golf participants compared with a general population-based sample.MethodsGolf participants in Australia (n=336) completed the Australian Golf Health Survey which collected data on skin cancer diagnosis (self-reported history), physical activity levels and participant demographics. Data were compared with a sample of the Australian general population (n=15780, Australian Health Survey). Age-specific lifetime prevalence of skin cancer in golf and general population-based samples was determined, and modified Poisson regression (adjusted for age, sex, education and smoking status) was used to estimate the association between playing golf and the risk of a current or past skin cancer diagnosis.ResultsOne in four golf participants (n=91; 27%) had received a skin cancer diagnosis compared with 7% (n=1173) of the general population. Golf participants were 2.42 (2.01 to 2.91) (relative risk (95% CI)) times more likely to report a skin cancer diagnosis than the general population after adjusting for age, sex, education and smoking status.ConclusionPlaying golf in Australia is associated with a higher age-specific lifetime prevalence of skin cancer compared with the general population. Golf organisations, clubs and facilities should inform golf participants about the risk of skin cancer and promote preventive strategies including use of high-Sun Protection Factor (SPF) sunscreen, appropriate hats and clothing.

“…This resulted in a sample of 58 because two participants had more than 2 days of missing step count data in week 2. Weekly totals considered extreme outliers (<1% and >99% of all step count values) were excluded as per Rowe’s rules of identifying outliers in pedometer data (Shephard & Tudor-Locke, 2016). To translate step-counts into time spent in physical activity, we used a statistical model based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data where achievement of 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week (ideal) would require 49,000 steps/week (Tudor-Locke et al, 2011).…”

Aims The purpose of this study was to assess the levels of cardiovascular health (CVH) of Black and Latino adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and examine the association of individual and microsystem level factors with their CVH score. Methods This was a cross-sectional design in 60 Black and Latino Adults aged 18–40 with T2D. Data were collected on sociodemographic, individual (sociodemographic, diabetes self-management, sleep disturbance, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and the inflammatory biomarkers IL-6 and hs-CRP) and microsystem factors (family functioning), and American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 metrics of CVH. Factors significantly associated with the CVH score in the bivariate analyses were entered into a linear regression model. Results The sample had a mean age 34 ± 5 years and was primarily female (75%) with a mean CVH score was 8.6 ± 2.2 (possible range of 0–14). The sample achieved these CVH factors at ideal levels: body mass index <25 kg/m2 (8%); blood pressure <120/80 (42%); hemoglobin A1c < 7% (57%); total cholesterol <200 mg/dL (83%); healthy diet (18%); never or former smoker > one year (95%); and physical activity (150 moderate-to-vigorous minutes/week; 45%). In the multivariable model, two factors were significantly associated with cardiovascular health: hs-CRP (B = −0.11621, p < .0001) and the general health scale (B = 0.45127, p = .0013). Conclusions This sample had an intermediate level of CVH, with inflammation and general health associated with overall CVH score.
