Abstract
⸠The greatest burden of nutritional rickets is in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. ⸠It is re-emerging in many industrialized countries especially in some ethnic groups. ⸠D deficiency is the main cause even in sunny places, due to limited skin exposure. ⸠Rickets without severe hypovitaminosis D is associated with very low Ca intakes. ⸠Prevention or cure based on vitamin D status will be ineffective in such cases.
