Habits of Australians bask in the sun turned out to have a negative effect. The kangaroo population in the country is 13 times greater risk of developing skin cancer compared to other countries. According to a study released Thursday.
In a report entitled "Cancer in Australia 2010" conducted by the Australian government found that the lovers of the sun that has become the country with a ratio of people with melanoma and skin cancer in the world.
Melanoma is the most common type of skin cancer caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Australia's proximity to the South Pole, where there is a hole in the ozone that had been functioning as a filter ultraviolet rays also heightens the chances of people in Australia are exposed to skin cancer.
However, the detection rate improved data collection to help diagnose skin cancer each year. Thus mentioned by Christine Sturrock, principal investigator of the Australian Institute of Health.
"We have a detection rate of skin cancer are good enough so that it can produce such findings. In many other countries is very weak detection capabilities," said Sturrock told AFP.
"But we've got skin cancer rates are greatest in the world," he added.
Of all those Australians who are diagnosed with skin cancer exposure, an increase of 27 percent between 1982 and 2007. This calculation already includes population growth and aging population trend in Australia.
Although people with increased skin cancer, mortality from this disease was decreased in the period 1982-2007.
Sturrock says that these findings are encouraging from a report in 2010, which collects data from across the country.
"One of the most positive findings of this report is the decline in death rates from skin cancer," he said.
The report also mentions that the spleen cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer among those living with secondary economy to show improvement. However, this correlation belumlan clear.
