Abstract
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and cutaneous melanoma (CM) are among the most common cancers in older women. While studies on the protective effects of vitamin A against NMSC have been mixed, a 2012 cohort study which included 36,096 women showed that supplementation with retinol—a form of vitamin A—correlated with reduced CM risk in women. To investigate associations of vitamin A and skin cancer in postmenopausal women, we used data from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) observational study of 93,676 postmenopausal women.
