“…2,3,4 Various studies from developing countries have reported dietary deficiency of calcium in children. 5 In the Indian context, milk being an expensive commodity, consumption of milk and milk products, which are good sources of dietary calcium, is meager in children of the lower socio-economic class. 6 Deficient calcium intake has been shown to be the cause of rickets in a large proportion of Indian children as well as in children from tropical countries.…”

“…There was no significant increase in anthropometric characteristics with age (p>0.05) ( Table 1). On comparison with Indian reference data 20 , the mean height for age z-score (HAZ) was -0.11±1.03 and weight for age z-score (WAZ) was -0.54±1.04. Of the 299 girls, 242 (80.9%) girls had HAZ > -1 indicating normal growth, 46 (15.4%) girls had HAZ between -1 and -2 and 11 (3.7%) girls had HAZ < -2 indicating stunted growth.…”

“…Height, weight and BMI for age Z-scores were calculated using Indian reference data (20) Based on the height for age Z scores (HAZ), girls were classified as having normal growth (HAZ > -1), mild stunting (HAZ between -1 and -2) and stunting (HAZ > 2). Height percentiles were also calculated for girls.…”

The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and obesity and its associations with parental (or grandparental) history of illness and parental education. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 299 girls aged 13-16 years from Mumbai city, India. Anthropometry (weight, height, waist (WC) and hip circumference, mid-upper arm circumference) and blood pressure (BP) was measured. History of chronic illness in parents and grandparents was recorded. Parental education was also recorded. The mean WC of the girls was 68±10 cm. WC was between 85 th and 95 th percentile in 14 (4.7%) girls and more than 95 th percentile in 22 (7.4%) girls. The mean systolic BP of the girls was 110±11 mmHg and mean diastolic BP was 69±8 mmHg. Twelve (4%) girls had systolic BP and 48 (16.1%) girls had diastolic BP between 90th and 95th percentile whereas 38 (12.7%) girls had systolic BP and 23 girls (7.7%) had diastolic BP more than 95th percentile. There was a significant association between systolic BP and obesity (X2 = 5.79, df = 2) and diabetes (X2 =9.76, df=2) in grandmother (p<0.05). There was also a significant association of diastolic BP with prevalence of cardio-vascular disease in both parents (X2 = 11.26, df =2) especially with that in mothers (X2 =11.27, df = 2) (p<0.05). Systolic BP showed an association with mother education (X2 = 18.81, df = 8) (p<0.05. Central obesity and hypertension is prevalent in school going girls in Mumbai city and show a significant association with prevalence of diseases in parents and grandparents.

“…Chronic ingestion of a low calcium diet, which induces secondary hyperparathyroidism. High serum PTH leads to increased synthesis of 1,25(OH) 2 D, which is known to degrade 25(OH)D to inactive 24,25(OH) 2 D, thereby depleting body stores of vitamin D [17,18]. 8.…”

Rickets is disorder of a growing child arising from disorders that result in impaired apoptosis of hypertrophic cells and mineralization of the growth plate. Rickets due to nutritional causes remains an important global problem. The factors responsible for resurgence of rickets among dark-skinned infants living in developed countries include the following: residence in northern or southern latitudes, voluntary avoidance of exposure to solar ultraviolet B radiation, maternal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy, and prolonged breastfeeding without provision of vitamin D supplements. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), secreted by osteocytes, is an important regulator of serum phosphate and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) levels. Hypophosphatemic rickets resulting from increased synthesis or under-catabolism of FGF23 is reviewed.
