Abstract

Background: Rickets is one of the emerging diseases around the world and its records have been frequently increased among Saudi children.
Objective: Our aim of the study was to discuss and improve the knowledge and the awareness of mothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about rickets disease and its environmental and nutritional risk factors. Methods: We conducted this cross-sectional retrospective Study at the maternal Children Hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a pre-specified questionnaire after obtaining the patients consent. SPSS software was used to analyze the data.
Results: We included 150 mothers with their children. There were 146 (97.3%) of the children with vitamin D deficiency.
Conclusion: In Saudi Arabia, there is a need for campaigns that spread awareness among mothers and young adult females about the importance of vitamin D, diets containing adequate levels of it as well the risk factors that cause its deficiency.
