Chetna Rathore, Noida: Flats built in high-rise buildings of 12 to 25 floors in cities are harming the health of children and the elderly. There are many societies in whose houses, let alone sunlight, even light does not reach. In such a situation, due to lack of vitamin D in children, they are complaining of pain in their bones, as well as weakness in them. Dr. Ankur Agarwal, orthopedic of Child PGI, said that every day, along with normal patients, cases of bone pain in children are also reaching the OPD. Of which 10 percent children come like this. In future, these children will have more problems than normal people. At the same time, parents coming to the OPD are being advised to let their children play in the sun, so that their bones can get strengthened. Many days pass by.
did not leave the house during corona period
During the Corona period, leaving the house was completely prohibited, due to which cases of vitamin D deficiency in children increased after Covid. Due to the habit of staying at home, children have not been able to go out. After school, they are packed in the house. They also avoid playing in the playground in the school.
There is no sunlight in the flat
As soon as the child is born, he is taken to a flat and kept there. Due to lack of information among people, they avoid exposing the child to sunlight thinking that the child will become dark but the more sunlight the child is exposed to, the more it will grow and strengthen his bones.
Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women
Dr. Tikam Singh said that due to vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women, children are also suffering from vitamin D deficiency. Women living in flats go out less in the sun. Due to living on the 1st or 2nd floor, sunlight does not reach the balcony, due to which the bones of the child growing in the womb of the woman are found to be weak. Along with this, it also affects mental health.
Phones are also weakening your bones
Children become tired while using the phone in the same position, due to which their back pain and backache problems have started increasing. Along with this, cervical problems have also started occurring at the age of 20 to 25. The age of getting cervical is after 45 but these days cervical patients are coming at a younger age. The problem of bone pain has increased due to using the phone in the same position.
