Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency. Severe Vitamin D deficiency in children causes them to get the bowed legs, and sometimes arms, that are characteristic of the soft bone disease of rickets. In adults, this severe form of low Vitamin D causes a disease called osteomalacia, and can be a precursor to osteoporosis. Osteomalacia is similar to rickets, as it is a softening of the bones, but it doesnât lead to bowed legs as it does in children.
For the study middle-aged mice were fed a diet low in vitamin D over a span of 4 to 5 months. It was observed that the brains of the rats experienced free radical damage, the redox proteomics also detected the damage caused to various brain protein.A reduction in cognitive functions was also observed.Given that vitamin D deficiency is especially widespread among the elderly, we investigated how during aging from middle-age to old-age how low vitamin D affected the oxidative status of the brain, Allan Butterfield said, according to a news release. reduction in cognitive functions was also observed.
