A prospective study of measured body size and height and risk of keratinocyte cancers and melanoma

Highlights • We examined the association of anthropometric measures and incidence of skin cancers. • Height is significantly associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) development in men. • Taller women present higher risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). • Height seems to be positively associated...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We examined the association of anthropometric measures and incidence of skin cancers. • Height is significantly associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) development in men. • Taller women present higher risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). • Height seems to be positively associated with risk of melanoma in men. • Body mass and body surface area appear unrelated to risk of skin cancers.
