Abstract
The mean caries incidence of 94,337 white boys, 12-14 years of age, residing in rural and semi-rural areas of 24 states was 353.5 per 100 boys. This incidence varies inversely with the hours of sunshine at their places of residence and suggests a possible causal relationship.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
