Prior nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), a biomarker of cumulative lifetime sun exposure, is associated with reduced fracture risk later in life.

This protective association is most likely mediated by modifiable fracture risk factors associated with an outdoor lifestyle, including 25(OH)D, BMD, and bone microarchitecture.
