Recent research: almost half of Hungarians do not use sun protection cream, and moreover, they do not avoid the sun in the midday hours either
According to a recent, representative research, only 8 percent of the Hungarian population uses sun protection cream all year round, and 43 percent pay attention to it only in summer. The research revealed that avoiding sunbathing between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. is characteristic of only a quarter of the respondents. Affidea Hungary and Dr. Kelen teamed up to raise awareness of health care and sun protection, and organized a free melanoma screening in June. In more than 7 percent of those who took part in the study, a deviation was discovered where further treatment was recommended by the specialists.
Based on data from the KSH, more than 70,000 new cases of malignant tumors are reported in Hungary every year, and more than 30,000 people die each year as a result of cancer. Regular self-exams and screenings can save lives, including for melanoma, a type of skin cancer. In many cases, the development of melanoma is caused by excessive sun exposure and lack of adequate sun protection. The attitudes and habits of the Hungarian population regarding sun protection and sunbathing were also examined by Affidea Hungary’s national representative research, according to which there is still plenty of room for improvement when it comes to skin health and prevention. The research revealed that 43 percent of Hungarians use sunscreen only in summer, and only 8 percent pay attention to it in winter as well. Only 40 percent of them avoid the strong sun, and not sunbathing between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. is characteristic of only a quarter of the respondents. It can be said that women pay more attention to the health of their skin than men.
