It's so strange to me that these studies seem to generalize findings (eg results by country) when one of the key biological factors for how we get vitamin D is skin colour. And at its most basic relationship, the whiter ones' skin, the better one is at generating Vitamin D from sunlight. Perhaps it points to another way in which this disease could disproportionately affect persons of colour?

If anyone has any literature that explores it more I'd love some direction.
