Calcium Deficiency ⚫ Rickets results in poorly formed bone structure and causes bowed legs, “pigeon breast,” enlarged wrists or ankles, and stunted growth. ⚫ “Adult rickets” (osteomalacia) causes bones to become soft. ⚫ Osteoporosis causes brittle bones. ⚫ Tetany, characterized by involuntary muscle movement, results from insufficient calcium in the blood.
