| Abstract |
Rickets is disorder of a growing child arising from disorders that result in impaired apoptosis of hypertrophic cells and mineralization of the growth plate. Rickets due to nutritional causes remains an important global problem. The factors responsible for resurgence of rickets among dark-skinned infants living in developed countries include the following: residence in northern or southern latitudes, voluntary avoidance of exposure to solar ultraviolet B radiation, maternal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy, and prolonged breastfeeding without provision of vitamin D supplements. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), secreted by osteocytes, is an important regulator of serum phosphate and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) levels. Hypophosphatemic rickets resulting from increased synthesis or under-catabolism of FGF23 is reviewed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 November 2019.
All research outputs
#4,481,876
of 22,653,392 outputs
Outputs from Current Osteoporosis Reports
#82
of 540 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,490
of 132,872 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Osteoporosis Reports
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,653,392 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 540 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 132,872 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
