Summary about Rickets

Rickets is a softening and weakening of the bones in children caused by a severe and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. Rickets can also be caused by rare inherited problems. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from food by your child's body.

According to research on nutritional rickets, it has been found that this condition is caused by the deficiency of calcium and Vitamin D all around the world. It is mostly diagnosed in the first few years after birth. Other facts and statistics about rickets have been listed below:

• Bowed legs or knock knees. 
• Thickened wrists and ankles.

Causes of Rickets

Vitamin D is required for the child's body to absorb calcium and phosphorus from food. Rickets can develop if the child's body does not get enough vitamin D or if his or her body does not use vitamin D properly. Rickets can be caused by a lack of calcium or a lack of calcium and vitamin D.

Preventive Measures of Rickets

To prevent rickets, make sure your child consumes vitamin D-rich foods, such as fatty fish like salmon and tuna, fish oil, and egg yolks, or foods fortified with vitamin D, such as infant formula, cereal, and bread.

Treatment for Rickets in Children

Since most cases of rickets are caused by a lack of vitamin D and calcium, it is usually treated by increasing a child's vitamin D and calcium intake, consuming more calcium and vitamin D-rich foods and taking calcium and vitamin D supplements on a daily basis.
