A member asked:

Caucasians tend to get skin cancer quicker than other races and osteoporosis why is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin cancer : The more melanin or skin pigment the more protection against sun exposure and the subsequent development of skin cancer . That is not to say that more deeply pigmented skin types do not develop skin cancer because it occurs , it is statisically less common.
