One of the more serious diseases that we see due to vitamin D deficiency in children is a return of rickets. This is a disease most commonly associated with developing countries. It causes a softening of the bones and is most common in children between the ages of 6 and 24 months. With the increase in vitamin D deficiency over the last decade we are seeing a return of this disease which was all but eliminated in developing countries after WWII.
