Fitzpatrick Scale

Lancer Ethnicity Scale

Lancer Ethnicity Scale (con’t.)  How to Calculate: ◦ Find the LES number for each maternal and paternal grandparent ◦ Add the numbers together and divided by 4  Example:  Paternal Grandparents  Father Japanese (LES 4) & Mother African (LES 5) = 9  Maternal Grandparents  Father African (LES 5) & Mother No. European (LES 2) = 7  9 + 7 = 16 16 ÷ 4 = 4  Total LES skin type 4

Lancer Ethnicity Scale (con’t.)

 Paternal Great Grandparents  Father African (LES 5) + Mother Scandinavian/British Descent (LES 2) = 7  Maternal Great Grandparents  Father African (LES 5) + Mother Scandinavian/British Descent (LES 2) = 7  7 + 7 = 14 14 ÷ 4 = 3.5  Total LES skin type 3.5
