Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic photodermatoses, including polymorphous light eruption (PLE) and chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD), are common skin conditions linked to UV radiation, but their prevalence in China was previously unknown.
- A survey of 4,899 people from six different minority groups in the Yunnan province revealed a PLE prevalence of 0.65% and CAD at 0.18%, with PLE being more common in females and higher at elevated altitudes.
- The study found that individuals exposed to sunlight for approximately 6 hours per day reported PLE and CAD durations of around 5.8 and 6.6 years, respectively, highlighting a direct connection between PLE prevalence and altitude.
