The Fitzpatrick scale (also Fitzpatrick skin typing test; or Fitzpatrick phototyping scale) is a numerical classification schema for human skin color. It was developed in 1975 by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, a Harvard dermatologist, as a way to classify the typical response of different types of skin to ultraviolet (UV) light.〔Fitzpatrick, T. B. (1975). "Soleil et peau" (and skin ). Journal de Médecine Esthétique (in French) (2): 33–34〕 Later, it was updated to also contain a wider range of skin types.〔Pathak, M. A.; Jimbow, K.; Szabo, G.; Fitzpatrick, T. B. (1976). "Sunlight and melanin pigmentation". In Smith, K. C. (ed.): Photochemical and photobiological reviews, Plenum Press, New York, 1976: 211-239〕〔Fitzpatrick, T. B. (1986). "Ultraviolet-induced pigmentary changes: Benefits and hazards", Therapeutic Photomedicine, Karger, vol. 15 of "Current Problems in Dermatology", 1986: 25-38〕 The Fitzpatrick scale remains a recognized tool for dermatological research into human skin pigmentation. The following list shows the six categories of the Fitzpatrick scale,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arpansa.gov.au/pubs/RadiationProtection/FitzpatrickSkinType.pdf )〕 in relation to the 36 categories of the older von Luschan scale: *Type I (scores 0–6) Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles — Always burns, never tans *Type II (scores 7–13) White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes — Usually burns, tans minimally *Type III (scores 14–20) Cream white; fair with any hair or eye color; quite common — Sometimes mild burn, tans uniformly *Type IV (scores 21–27) Moderate brown; typical Mediterranean skin tone — Rarely burns, always tans well *Type V (scores 28–34) Dark brown; Middle Eastern skin types — Very rarely burns, tans very easily *Type VI (scores 35–36) Deeply pigmented dark brown to black — Never burns, tans very easily ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fitzpatrick scale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
