Osteomalacia is a disease in adults that results from vitamin D deficiency. Characteristics of this disease are softening of the bones, leading to bending of the spine, bowing of the legs, proximal muscle weakness, bone fragility, and increased risk for fractures.itamin D deficiency causes osteomalacia (called rickets when it occurs in children). Use of vitamin D in children with normal vitamin D levels does not appear to improve bone density. Beyond that, low serum vitamin D levels have been associated with falls, and low bone mineral density.
With almost three-quarters of adults and teens in the US suffering from Vitamin D deficiency, thatâs cause for concern. Recently, I found out first hand just why Vitamin D is so important. I went to my doctor complaining of low energy, mood swings, and brittle hair expecting to hear the usual âstress lessâ pep-talk. Instead, she suggested checking my Vitamin D levels. I was sceptical. Surely all those symptoms couldnât be explained by my strained relationship with the sun.
