The connection between them is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

 This vitamin is necessary in the intestines because allows calcium and phosphorus to be observed, leading to normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Without enough vit D, bones become fragile, causing osteoporosis.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Most likely Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

Explanation:

BV is a sexually associated health problem in women caused by a change in the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina.  

This happens when the population of the good bacteria called <em>lactobacillus</em> reduces, giving room for the multiplication and growth of bad bacteria. The good bacteria keep the vagina a bit acidic, thereby preventing the growth and multiplication of bad bacteria.  

A woman that is sexually active is predisposed to having BV. White vaginal discharge that appears milky is one of the symptoms of BV. A vaginal pH 6 affirms it is mostly a BV, as the pH level that is greater than 4.5 would favors the population of bad bacteria.

The 30-year-old female who is sexually active and complains of a large amount of milk like vaginal discharge, with the vaginal pH at 6.0, is mostly likely having Bacteria vaginosis (BV)

Why is it sometimes hard to establish an MPA?
Dmitriy789 [7]
<h2><em>Why is it sometimes hard to establish an MPA?</em></h2>

  • <em>Arguably, it is difficult to declare such an MPA successful, when <u>the human populations responsible for degradation have been removed</u>, and its mere establishment is rife with such political contention. Issues also arise when considering the resources needed to support a large-scale MPA.</em>
