Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. A deficiency of vitamin D makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorus levels in bones, which can cause rickets.

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of rickets can include:

  • Delayed growth
  • Pain in the spine, pelvis and legs
  • Muscle weakness
Because rickets softens the growth plates at the ends of a child's bones, it can cause skeletal deformities such as:

  • Bowed legs or knock knees
  • Thickened wrists and ankles
  • Breastbone projection
This is why somalis need to take their vitamins

That's called rickets - its a severe vitamin D deficency that leads to contorted legs. It is not particularly common in the developed world and we don't have this problem so caadi iska dhiig @Ferrari.
