Abstract
1 min read
Skin diseases are frequently reported. The prevalence of actinic keratoses according to self-reported diagnoses was lower than expected based on prevalence data obtained by directly examining people. These discrepancies may be due to underreporting and/or unawareness of lesions by affected people. More precise estimates will be obtained by direct examination of sampled people.
