Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium deficiency can reduce bone strength and lead to osteoporosis, which is characterized by fragile bones and an increased risk of falling [1]. Calcium deficiency can also cause rickets in children and other bone disorders in adults, although these disorders are more commonly caused by vitamin D deficiency.
Detailed explanation-2: -Over time, a vitamin D or calcium deficiency will cause rickets in children and soft bones (osteomalacia) in adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dietary factors which increase the risk of osteoporosis include a deficiency of calcium, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and protein. Osteoporosis prevention should begin early in childhood through the consumption of calcium-rich foods such as milk and dairy products to promote optimal bone formation.
