Deficiency of Minerals



1. Calcium



  •    Calcium deficiency may lead to osteoporosis, which is a condition associated with a loss in bone density and bone mass 
  •  primarily found in middle age and elderly women. 
Its major symptoms are ;
  • increased vulnerability to bone fractures. 
  • Episodes of severe bone pain are usually due to fractures of the brittle bones and may occur after minimal trauma.


2. Magnesium


The principal clinical features are depression, muscular weakness, vertigo and liability to convulsions.


3. Iron



   Iron deficiency anemia is widely prevalent among ;

  • children,
  • adolescent girls, 
  • and expectant and nursing mothers in all developing countries. 

    The clinical features are the results of diminished oxygen
carrying power of the blood due to low haemoglobin content. 

The symptoms are as follows -


  •  the skin may appear pale, 
  • fingernails can become thin and flat and 
  • spoon shaped nails called koilonychia may develop 

Other symptoms include 


  • fatigue, 
  • breathlessness on exertion,
  • dizziness, 
  • headache, 
  • dimness of vision, 
  • sleeplessness, 
  • parasthesia,(tingling sensation in arms and legs)
  •  and chest pain. In severe cases
  • there may be some oedema of the ankles. 
There is tendency for children below 3 years with iron deficiency anemia to eat mud (Pica).


Recent World Health organization (WHO) statistics indicate a worldwide anemia prevalence of about 30% with higher rates in
developing countries. 


In India, its incidence varies from 20-70% more among females than male affecting people from all walks of
life. 

According to National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), anemia is
most common in all the groups of adolescent girls to the tune of
20-25% irrespective of the social class.


  As part of the National Nutritional anemia prophylaxis programme, iron and folate tablets are distributed to pregnant women and pre school children.


4. Iodine


If sufficient iodine is not taken in the diet, enlargement of the
thyroid takes place, resulting in the disease called goitre.


In children severe iodine deficiency may result in serious retardation of growth called cretinism. 


Iodine deficiency can be treated with administration of iodised salt in the diet. 

In India, the endemic belt of goiter and cretinism mainly lies along the slopes, foothills, and plains adjascent to Himalayas. 


 endemic goitre are being  identified in the Aravalli hills in Rajasthan, Subvindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh, Narmada valley in Gujarat, hilly areas of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and tea estates of Karnataka and Kerala.
