  • Title: Osteomalacia in elderly White South African women with fractures of the femoral neck.
    Author: Schnitzler CM, Solomon L.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1983 Sep 28; 64(14):527-30. PubMed ID: 6623235.
    Abstract:
    Iliac bone biopsies of 80 patients with femoral neck fractures showed histological features of osteomalacia in 11,25% of cases. The disorder is significantly worse in winter than in summer. This suggests that insufficient exposure to sunlight is a contributory factor.
