Nutrition Help Preventing Rickets Requires More Than Living in Sunny Climate Rickets can be caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in the diet or a lack of exposure to sunlight. Ultraviolet light triggers a reaction in the skin that helps the body synthesize its own vitamin D, which is used to help the body absorb calcium, the key bone-building nutrient. People with darker skin need more sunlight than their paler counterparts. The bone disorder rickets can strike adolescents who live in sunny climates. Investigators report on 1 male and 20 female adolescents living in Saudi Arabia developed rickets. The findings suggest that even in sunny environments, adolescents, who are undergoing rapid growth, may be vulnerable to the disease.

Rickets/Osteomalacia Introduction Checklist Symptoms Treatments ... References Children with rickets have abnormal bone formation resulting from inadequate calcium in their bones. This lack of calcium can result from inadequate dietary calcium, inadequate exposure to sunshine (needed to make vitamin D), or from not eating enough vitamin D egg yolks and dairy products Rickets can also be caused by conditions that impair absorption of vitamin D and/or calcium, even when these nutrients are consumed in appropriate amounts. Activation of vitamin D in the body requires normal liver and kidney function. Damage to either organ can cause rickets. Some variations of rickets do not respond well to supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. Proper diagnosis must be made by a healthcare professional. Osteomalacia is an adult version of rickets. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor.

London: P. Cole, 1651. This book was one of the first pediatric texts published in England, and is one of the earliest instances of collaborative medical research, reporting the observations of Francis Glisson and seven other contributors. Francis Glisson (1597-1677) was a scholar, a scientist, a physician, and a born investigator. His description of rickets was complete; however, he did not recognize the part that diet played. It was not until 1918, that Edward Mellanby, experimenting with dogs, showed that diet was the determining factor, and that cod liver oil could prevent rickets. In chapter 22 of his Treatise of the Rickets , Glisson gave a clear description of infantile scurvy and showed that, though it often accompanied rickets, it was a separate disease entirely.

Clinical Highlights Vitamin D Supplementation To Prevent Rickets in Breast-Fed Babies To prevent rickets, dark-skinned infants and children who are fed only breast milk should receive 400 IU of vitamin D supplementation daily, beginning by at least 2 months of age. Select for PDF version (149 KB). PDF Help Contents Introduction Methods Findings and Discussion Action Taken ... For More Information Introduction Vitamin D is necessary for proper bone growth, but it is not found in many foods naturally. It is synthesized in the skin with exposure to sunlight, but many babies do not get much exposure to the sun for a number of reasons, such as not spending time outdoors and wearing clothes, hats, or sunscreen. The darker an infant's skin, the more sun exposure is needed to synthesize vitamin D. Although breastfeeding is the ideal form of nutrition for infants, it does not supply the vitamin D needed for healthy bone growth. Nutritional rickets is a condition in which children's bones are too soft and do not develop properly. Thanks largely to vitamin D supplementation of infant formula and recognition of the need for sunlight, rickets had become largely a thing of the past in the United States. However, cases of nutritional rickets among babies have been on the rise recently.
