A staggering quarter of a million children in England between the age of 11 to 17 are putting their health at risk by using sunbeds.<\/p>\n

Catherine Thomson from Cancer Research UK and Professor Chris Twelves from Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine & St James\u2019s University Hospital in Leeds, say in this week’s BMJ that the use of\u00a0 sunbeds in children is causing serious concern.<\/p>\n

Cancer Research UK has recently carried out two studies involving more than 9000 children in England.<\/p>\n

The average age when first using a sunbed was found to be just 14 years of age. In Liverpool and Sunderland, 40 per cent of 15-17 year old girls used sunbeds weekly.<\/p>\n

The use of sunbeds increases the risk of developing malignant melanoma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
