You made a particularly unfortunate accidental word switch up. I imagine you meant "ravaged".

ravished — _fill (someone) with intense delight; enrapture._

Because they are still deficient of vitamin D [1]:

> It is evident that, despite the location of Ecuador and the intensity of UV rays it receives throughout the year, Ecuadorian subjects have insufficient levels of vitamin D.

I wonder if it says they wear a lot of sunscreen. They’re on the equator and much of the country is at a very high elevation so the sun is particularly strong. When I was in Ecuador for a few months I went through more sunscreen than I had in my whole life up to that point. Without sunscreen I would get burnt to a crisp on an overcast day even when I didn’t spend much time outside.
