ABSTRACT

Rickets in children is a metabolic disorder characteristic of childhood, and it is caused by a lack of vitamin D, calcium or phosphate. These nutrients are necessary for building strong and healthy bones, so their deficiency leads to softening and weakening of bone tissue, growth retardation and, in rare cases, bone deformities.
