What Is Osteomalacia?
6. Whose A Risk
Those people most likely to develop osteomalacia are also those that are exposed to the underlying causes. For example, people that use certain medications and have undergone certain surgical procedures need to be careful. Regular check-ups will likely be advised for people at risk to help catch any problems early.
People that don’t have access to a healthy diet are also at risk, as are people that have only limited access to daylight. In many cases, these are people that are hospitalized, or are housebound, A lack of sunlight can also contribute to depression, so there is more than one reason why people should have access to sunlight.
