Rationale: Hypocalcemia manifests itself as poor bone mineral density. Decreased bone mineral density causes weak and fragile bones and increases the risk for fractures. Symptoms of hypokalemia include cardiac arrhythmias and muscle contractions. Iron deficiency is associated with the development of anemia. Selenium deficiency is rare, but has been linked with hyperthyroidism.
