**Description:**

This table provides data on skin reflectance and UVMED (UltraViolet Minimal Erythemal Dose) for various countries. 

- **Skin Reflectance** is a measure of how much light the skin reflects. A lower value indicates darker skin which typically reflects less light.
- **UVMED** represents the minimum dose of ultraviolet radiation (measured in an unspecified unit) needed to cause erythema (redness) in the skin.

The data shows variation in skin reflectance and UV sensitivity among different countries, reflecting both geographical and genetic diversity. For example, Australia has low skin reflectance with a high UVMED, indicating more UV resistance, whereas the Netherlands has high reflectance and low UVMED, showing less UV resistance.
