Abstract

?=?0.61), but reduced risk was found in upper limb melanomas (hazard ratio (HR)?=?0.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51-0.96; high versus low PA). Non-significant reduced risks were found for seasonal outdoor walking >2?h/day versus 30-60?min/day (summer HR?=?0.81, 95% CI 0.66-1.00; autumn HR?=?0.74, 95%CI 0.55-1.01). Seasonal PAs were not associated with melanoma risk. In conclusion, we found positive associations between overall PA and sunbathing vacations and indoor tanning, and, unlike literature, inverse association between overall PA and sunburns. Our results do not support a positive association between PA and melanoma risk in Norwegian women.
