The impact of skin colour on human photobiological responses

25 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

Summary Terrestrial solar ultraviolet radiation ( UVR ) exerts both beneficial and adverse effects on human skin. Epidemiological studies show a lower incidence of skin cancer in people with pigmented skins compared to fair skins. This is attributed to photoprotection by epidermal melanin, as is the poorer vitamin D status of those with darker skins. We summarize a wide range of photobiological responses across...
