Which part of the body is associated with rickets disorder?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Bones.

  • Rickets is a skeletal disorder caused due to lack of Vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. These nutrients are important for the development of strong and healthy bones.
  • People with rickets may have weak and soft bones, stunted growth, and in severe cases, skeletal deformities.
  • Rickets is most common in children who are between 6 and 36 months old. Children are at the highest risk of rickets because they are still growing.
