Rickets is a disorder caused mainly by a vitamin deficit, in the absence of vitamin D, calcium or phosphorus, which results in a softening and weakening of the bones. Most cases of rickets are due to these deficiencies, although it can also be hereditary.
Vitamin D helps bones absorb calcium and phosphorus from food, and when a baby or child does not get enough vitamin D, their bones do not receive the necessary nutrients for proper bone formation and growth.
The smallest kids, between 6 and 24 months, they have the highest risk of rickets, since in this period the budgets are growing very quickly. This is why pediatricians usually recommend a vitamin D supplement in babies.
Rickets can be prevented by an adequate intake of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. Gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal disorders that hinder the absorption of vitamin D should be treated by specialists to prevent rickets, as well as monitor the levels of clacio and phosphorus in the body.
There is babies most exposed to vitamin D deficiency, those in which the following characteristics occur: they have dark skin, do not receive sun exposure without sunscreen or do not eat foods rich in vitamin D.
Fortunately, this childhood bone disease has little impact on our environment today, and can be prevented as we have noted.
