What are the Risk Factors for UV-Related Skin Cancer?
Several factors can increase the risk of developing skin cancer from UV radiation:
Skin Type: People with fair skin that burns easily are at higher risk. Geographical Location: Individuals living closer to the equator are exposed to higher levels of UV radiation. Altitude: Higher altitudes have stronger UV radiation. Outdoor Activities: Spending a lot of time outdoors without protective clothing or sunscreen increases risk. History of Sunburns: Multiple sunburns, especially during childhood, increase the risk.
