I think it’s difficult to study this sort of thing because people and behavior is so different. I lost someone dear to me to melanoma and one of the things we learned was that a single blistering sunburn as a child increases cancer risk significantly. So small variations have big impacts.

I’d love to see a study where people wear a meter to sample exposure. My mom was an avid gardener who never wore sunscreen - she dressed appropriately with a hat.
