Prevalence of sunscreen use and sunburn in Greek athletes: a cross-sectional study

CONCLUSIONS: Sunscreen utilization is notably insufficient among athletes, reflecting a limited awareness of the potential risks associated with sun exposure, even though they frequently suffer from sunburn. This heightened susceptibility places them at an increased risk of developing skin lesions. Initiating and disseminating awareness campaigns that specifically emphasize the importance of sunscreen use within the outdoor sports community is imperative.PMID:38385636 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.23.15559-9
