Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The occurrence and number of melanocytic nevi (MN) are among the most important known risk factors for the development of cutaneous melanoma (CM). OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of MN among schoolchildren and its relationship with phenotype, body mass index (BMI), parental and sun exposure factors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on N = 1277 schoolchildren aged 7-19 years old in...
