How do you prevent rickets?

Which condition is known as adult rickets?
The term "rickets" is used almost exclusively to refer to a deficiency disease in children caused by a shortage of vitamin D, which causes the bones to develope abnormally. This is because the body cannot properly metabolize calcium without sufficient vitamin D. Adults might also have vitamin D deficiencies and calcium absorption problems, but the bones are already formed, and rickets refers to the formative years - that is, childhood. A person using the term "adult rickets" is probably stretching the meaning for lack of a better term.
