Predictors of Body Clothing Coverage among a New Zealand Community Sample
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Clothing coverage has been reported for NZ adults during high summer UVR, but not for nonsummer months, although both erythema and endogenous vitamin D production are possible, particularly during summer 'shoulder' months. Clothing coverage in non-summer months is, therefore, relevant for skin cancer risk reduction and maintenance of vitamin D levels. Study objectives were to: describe percentage total body clothing coverage; investigate which factors, from a range of plausible predictors, were associated with coverage; consider possible opportunities to inform health promotion programme development and implementation.
