Background Growing evidence suggests that some individuals may exhibit symptoms of dependence on ultraviolet ( UV) light, a known carcinogen, in the context of tanning; however, few studies have investigated predictors of tanning dependence ( TD). Objective To identify predictors of TD. Methods Non-Hispanics of European ancestry who had previously participated in a case-control study of early-onset basal cell carcinoma completed an online survey to ascertain TD and other behaviours (alcohol dependence, nicotine dependence, seasonal affective disorder ( SAD), exercise 'addiction' and depression). Information on host factors, such as skin and eye colour and history of sunbathing and indoor tanning, was obtained from a study in which the participants were previously enrolled. Lifetime TD was assessed using the modified Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye-opener (m CAGE) and the modified Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (m DSM- IV- TR) questionnaires. Participants were classified as ' TD' if positive on both questionnaires and not TD if negative on both questionnaires. Results In total, 499 individuals completed the online survey (81.9% participation rate), and 24.4% were classified as ' TD'. In the multivariate model, women were more likely to be TD [odds ratio ( OR) 6.93; 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) (3.36-14.27)] than men. Alcohol dependence ( OR 6.55: 95% CI 3.19-13.42), SAD ( OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.26-6.09) and exercise 'addiction' ( OR 5.47; 95% CI 1.15-26.06) were all significant predictors for TD. Conclusion Increased knowledge of those at risk for TD will allow appropriate interventions to be designed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
