Re: Global View Shows Link Between Endometrial Cancer and Vitamin D StatusFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comTue Nov 20 12:24:34 2007
In a message dated 11/20/2007 12:29:54 P.M. Central Standard Time, ATKINSONS@ecu.edu writes: No but it does account for higher incidencies in our black and Egyptian populations. The highly pigmented black skin does not allow for sunshine across it thus we get no vitamin D. Our Egyptian populations stay covered. Eskimos live in poor sunshine areas and usually are covered for warmth-thus no vitamin D either . sAm Yeah, I remember a report years ago about black servicemen in Greenland. They developed deficiency states because they got insufficient sunlight. The white servicemen, with more easily penetrated skin, apparently had enough exposure, even with what little outside time they had. Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
