Isaac is an 8-year-old child who has African ancestry. He lives in Chicago and does not spend much time outdoors. He does not like to consume dairy foods because he has lactose intolerance. His diet consists primarily of enriched white bread, peanut butter, chicken, pork, apples, bananas, and green vegetables. Based on this information, Isaac has a high risk of .A) pellagra
B) beriberi
C) scurvy
D) rickets

D) rickets

Explanation:

Rickets is a type of skeletal disorder that is characterized by softening and weakening of bones which often result to bowed legs or knock knees in children.

Rickets is said to be caused by lack of vitamin D, calcium or phosphate. Vitamin D is said to aid the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are important elements in the building of strong and healthy bones.

Vitamin D can naturally be produced in the body when the skin is exposed to adequate radiation of the sun. Vitamin D along with calcium can be gotten from diets rich in diary products also.

Considering the information given about Isaac in the question, we can infer that Isaac has a high risk of rickets, since Isaac gets little exposure to sunlight, and he doesn't consume diary foods because he is lactose intolerant, deficiency of vitamin D would set in. As a result of the lack of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus, the probability of Isaac developing rickets is high.

D) rickets

Explanation:

Ricket is a disease occurs due to the deficiency of vitamin D. This disease occurs in those children who cannot consume foods which contains vitamin D. Deficiency of Vitamin D, bones becomes very soft and easily be broken and fractured. Our bones are madeup of calcium which can be absorbed from the calcium containing food with the help of vitamin D. Isaac has lactose intolerance so thats why he cannot eat calcium containing foods such as dietary products and has a high risk of ricket disease.
