What Is Osteomalacia?
8. Prevention
Preventing osteomalacia is relatively straight forward in many cases. One way is to make sure that you have plenty of vitamin D in your diet, and this means plenty of dairies and oily fish. Supplements can also be used to help, and these may be necessary for people with digestive system problems.
Getting plenty of sun is another way to prevent the condition. There is no consensus on how much sun you need, but most people will get all they need as they go about their lives. If you do know somebody that is unable to leave their home, then you should do what you can to help them out of their homes sometimes.
