Fernandes, Rúben; Coelho, Pedro; Almeida, Joana; Prudêncio, Cristina; Soares, RaquelObesity, favored by the modern lifestyle, acquired epidemic proportions nowadays. Obesity has been associated with various major causes of death and morbidity including malignant neoplasms. Cutaneous melanoma incidence rates have also been increasing uring the last four decades in several countries.
