%X a case-control study was carried out in order to analyze the association between diet and risk of non melanoma skin cancer -basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc), with adjustments for demographic, anthropometric and phenotypic characteristics, sunburns history, skin cancerfamily history, sun-exposure history and skin sensitivity to sun exposure. a full-body skin examination was performed. dietary data were obtained applying a standardized semi-quantitative questionnaire of consumption frequency. cases (n=27; age: 65,5+15,1 years) and controls (n=37; age: 63,9+12,3 years) were attended at the same facilities. a decreased risk ofbcc and scc tumors (adjusted odd ratio=0.10; ic 95%= 0.02-0.63; p=0.01) was found for high intakes of green leafy vegetables (more than 40 gr/day). however, results obtained for fruits, cruciferous, vitamin a and carotene-rich vegetables and other vegetables were not statistically significant.
