佝偻病是骨骼成长过程中骨基质矿化障碍导致的一系列临床表现。骨软化症是骨骼生长板愈合以后（即成年人期）出现的上述变化。
Rickets is the clinical consequence of impaired mineralization of matrix throughout a growing skeleton. Infants, children and adolescents can be affected. Osteomalacia results from this disturbance after growth plates fuse （i.e. adulthood）.
