But when it comes to skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that both environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.
但在皮膚癌的問題上,研究人員稱他們的發現與之前的研究一樣,認為環境和基因對患皮膚癌風險均有影響。
Baron's team examined facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived mostly in the northern Midwest and Eastern regions of the U.S. who were attending the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002.
巴倫的研究小組對130個年齡從18歲到77歲的雙胞胎的面部皮膚進行了研究。這些雙胞胎大部分居住在美國中西部偏北地區和東部地區,他們于2002年8月參加了在俄亥俄州舉行的“雙胞胎節”。
At this time, each of the twins also separately reported how their skin burned or tanned without sunscreen, their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking.
在這項研究中,每對雙胞胎也分別報告了他們的皮膚在沒有涂防曬霜的情況下曬傷或曬黑的情況、他們的體重、患皮膚癌、吸煙以及喝酒的歷史。
