Abstract

In this issue, Bogh et al. report a study that begins to address the important public health question of skin surface area and UVB exposure dose, related to erythema, necessary to achieve a given level of vitamin D status. They demonstrate the importance of baseline vitamin D status in conducting such studies. A smaller substudy suggests that skin pigment is not a barrier to vitamin D photosynthesis.
