This article discusses the causes, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, preventive measures and modern treatment methods of rickets, a common disease in children. Rickets is a metabolic disease characterized by impaired mineralization of bone tissue as a result of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus deficiency. The study substantiates the possibility of preventing severe complications of the disease through early detection of rickets, prophylactic vitamin D intake, sunlight use and proper nutrition. The article also analyzes the role of drugs, physiotherapy and diet used in the treatment of rickets. Effective strategies against rickets have been developed based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization and practices in pediatrics in Uzbekistan.
