TL;DR: Dietary variables were strongly correlated with several types of cancer, particularly meat consumption with cancer of the colon and fat consumption with cancers of the breast and corpus uteri, suggesting a possible role for dietary factors in modifying the development of cancer at a number of other sites.

TL;DR: The epidemiological data suggest that in implementing sun protection an increase in intermittency of exposure should be avoided, that sun protection will have the greatest impact if achieved as early as possible in life and that it will probably have an impact later in life, especially in those who had high childhood exposure to solar radiation.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses exposure measurement, the design of questionnaires, and the use of records, diaries, and proxy respondents for measurement in the human body or its products.

TL;DR: There is an urgent need for reliable evidence to inform policy to support healthy ageing and for research that addresses issues specific to the Australian population and makes use of the unique features of the Australian setting, giving the opportunity to provide insights of international relevance.

TL;DR: It was estimated that some 59 000 (65%) of about 92000 melanomas that occurred worldwide in 1985 were caused by sun exposure, which would justify studies of the causes of melanoma In these populations.
