Relationship of solar keratosis and history of skin cancer to objective measures of actinic skin damage. 1984

C D Holman, and B K Armstrong, and P R Evans, and G J Lumsden, and K J Dallimore, and C J Meehan, and J Beagley, and I M Gibson

Two methods for the assessment of severity of actinic skin damage were evaluated in a population-based survey of 1216 subjects. After controlling for the effects of age, skin texture changes graded by cutaneous microtopography were found to be associated strongly with the presence of solar keratoses and a past history of non-melanotic skin cancer. Changes in skin condition graded by paraocular photography had a weaker relationship with the presence of keratoses and showed no association with non-melanotic skin cancer. These results, together with a higher level of agreement between observers in grading cutaneous microtopographs, support the use of cutaneous microtopography as an index of actinic skin damage in epidemiological research.

D010781 Photography Method of making images on a sensitized surface by exposure to light or other radiant energy. Photographies
D010787 Photosensitivity Disorders Abnormal responses to sunlight or artificial light due to extreme reactivity of light-absorbing molecules in tissues. It refers almost exclusively to skin photosensitivity, including sunburn, reactions due to repeated prolonged exposure in the absence of photosensitizing factors, and reactions requiring photosensitizing factors such as photosensitizing agents and certain diseases. With restricted reference to skin tissue, it does not include photosensitivity of the eye to light, as in photophobia or photosensitive epilepsy.
