GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common cause of rickets is a lack of vitamin D or calcium in a child’s diet. Both are essential for children to develop strong and healthy bones. Sources of vitamin D are: sunlight – your skin produces vitamin D when it’s exposed to the sun, and we get most of our vitamin D this way.

Detailed explanation-2: -Children with very dark skin, whose skin is rarely exposed to the sun or who have certain medical conditions are at risk of low vitamin D. Children with low vitamin D need to take vitamin D supplements, spend enough time outside, and need to get enough calcium in their diet.
