  1. Multiple logistic regression analysis regarding influential factors concerning clinical malignancy. Categories, reference value is indicated by a *(Sex 0 = male*, 1 = female; age in years, 1 = *; Number of Naevi 0 = less than 100*, 1 = more than 100; skin phototype Fitzpatrick types 1*-6; reason for participation 1 = self-perceived skin abnormality 0 = free skin checkup* and other reasons; family history 1 = positive family history for skin cancer, *0 = no skin cancer in family). Participants with missing data were excluded from this analysis, a total of 4360 entries could be included in this model, R2 of this model = 0.11.
