And function of vitamin D is to facilitate the absorption of calcium, and thus the greater the amount of vitamin D obtained by the body also increased the efficiency of the body to absorb calcium, and stop the amount of vitamin D obtained by the individual: through food, exposure to sunlight to form vitamin is clearly in active under the skin, explains Dr/Ashraf studies have shown that increased phosphorus in the diet with reduced calcium intake leads to increased hormone Parathyroid in plasma and in turn affect the utilization of calcium and bone health, doctors recommend that the ratio of calcium to phosphorus of 1: 1 to 1: 2.

Symptoms of osteoporosis in children:
  Delays in walking and developments to natural growth and the emergence of some of the features in the hands and feet or at the end of the bones and ankles, and some times in the head so the head size is larger than normal.
