“…Figures on the incidence of actinic cheilitis in England and Europe are limited, as most studies were conducted in countries with higher sun exposure. Cohort studies of sunexposed populations (e.g., miners, farmers, fishermen and beach workers) reported a prevalence rate of between 8.5% to 39.6% [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Prevalence within the general population appears to be lower, between 0.3% and 3.7% [21,22].…”
