Skin Carotenoid Score Level and Race Affect Intradevice Repeatability of Veggie Meter® at a Single Time Point
Findings support using the average of the second and third scans as a more reliable method for assessing SCS. Reporting device-specific repeatability coefficients for the VM may enhance the interpretability of SCS, particularly for individuals with low SCS and for Black or African American participants.
