The Fitzpatrick skin type scale is unreliable for darker skin, does not take into account skin color ranges, and does not accurately provide skin cancer risk, leading to healthcare disparities.
“The FST scale has been found to be unreliable for darker skin, not taking into account skin color ranges nor accurately providing skin cancer risk, ultimately leading to healthcare disparities.13,14”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
