Family caregiving and all-cause mortality: findings from a population-based propensity-matched analysis.

abstract：:Logistic regression was used to estimate the "relative" risk of basal and squamous skin cancer for such factors as cumulative lifetime solar exposure, age, complexion, and tannability. In previous reports, a subject's exposure was estimated indirectly, by latitude, or by the number of sun days in a subject's habitat. ...
