In turn this may be due to a variety of causes but most commonly to abnormalities of vitamin D and calcium metabolism , which in turn arise from abnormality of diet or renal function , endocrine abnormalities ( particularly of the parathyroid gland) , drug therapy or poisoning .. 49 Vol.6 ; Issue: 8; August 2019 International Journal of Research and Review www.ijrrjournal.com E - ISSN: 2349 - 9788; P - ISSN: 2454 - 2237 Original Research Article Comparative Study of DEXA a to skeletal weakness.
