Senile osteomalacia - what does this mean
Senile osteomalacia is a bone disorder caused by the inadequate absorption of vitamin d in the elderly, leading to a softening of the bones and an increased risk of fractures. it is often associated with a deficiency of calcium and phosphorus, as well as an imbalance of hormones.
What happens during the disease - senile osteomalacia
Senile osteomalacia is a type of osteomalacia that occurs in elderly individuals due to a decrease in the production of active vitamin d from the skin as a result of aging. this decrease in active vitamin d leads to a decrease in calcium absorption from the intestine, resulting in low calcium levels in the blood. the body then responds by releasing calcium from bone, leading to a softening of the bone matrix and increased risk of fractures.
