25-OH vitamin D levels and sun protective habits in Caucasian and Hispanic (C/H) CLE and normal controls. (a) Mean 25-OH vitamin D levels among C/H CLE (N=26) and normal controls (N=24). The boxes contain results between the 25th and 75th percentile, with the dark lines in the boxes representing the median (C/H CLE=57.4 nmol/L, C/H normal=63.7 nmol/L) and the dashed lines in the boxes representing the mean (C/H CLE=59.4 nmol/L, C/H normal=70.5 nmol/L). (b) Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in C/H CLE and normal controls. Vitamin D insufficiency is defined as less than 50 nmol/L. (c) Sun protective habits (SPH) among C/H CLE (N=24) and normal controls (N=23). The boxes contain results between the 25th and 75th percentile, with the dark lines in the boxes representing the median (C/H CLE=2.6, C/H normal=2.4) and the dashed lines in the boxes representing the mean (CLE=3.0, normal=2.3). (d) Hours in sun among C/H CLE (N=24) and normal controls (N=23). Percentage of CLE and control C/H subjects spending <2, 2-3, 4-6, and >6 hours in the sun per week were calculated. *: p < 0.05.
