Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the condition: Rickets is a disease that affects bone development in children, leading to soft and weakened bones.
Identify the role of vitamins in bone health: Vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for healthy bone formation.
Recognize the symptoms of rickets: Symptoms include delayed growth, pain in the spine, pelvis, and legs, and muscle weakness.
Connect vitamin deficiency to rickets: A deficiency in vitamin D leads to poor calcium absorption, resulting in the symptoms associated with rickets.
Conclude the cause: Therefore, rickets is primarily caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, not vitamins A, E, or C.
