Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that sunburns increase the lifetime risk of melanoma?

Yes. A 2008 meta-analysis pooling 51 study populations found melanoma risk rises with the number of sunburns across childhood, adolescence, adulthood and lifetime, and its pooled dose-response data show lifetime sunburns are important in melanoma risk. Several cohort and case-control studies in specific populations (Norwegian women, French women, an Italian case-control study) likewise report higher melanoma risk with more sunburns.
