| Young white women in Midwest most likely to use tanning beds
College-aged women in the Midwest are the most likely group of Americans to hit the tanning salon, US health officials said Thursday, warning of the cancer risks linked to the common beauty routine. That is compared to 32 percent of all white women in that age group in the US who used sunbeds in the past 12 months, with an average of 28 visits. Diagnoses of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, have been rising sharply among young people in the US, and the CDC warned that tanning beds could be to blame. And a separate study published last month in Mayo Clinic Proceedings found the rate of melanoma incidents for women under 40 jumped more than eight times over the past four decades.
