Jameela is an Iranian woman living in poverty. She is not seen in public places without being covered almost completely in heavy veils. Her usual diet is comprised of legumes, small amounts of yogurt, whole-grain breads and rice, fruits, and a few vegetables. Based on this information, Jameela is most at risk of .

osteomalacia

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following information: the woman --Jameela is poor and her diet "comprised of legumes, small amounts of yogurt, whole-grain breads and rice, fruits, and a few vegetables". Which shows that the woman has less of calcium and Phosphates in her food. Also, she is not always seen in the public and when you see her she is always in ''heavy veils" which means that she does not also allow her self to be giving the Nature natural vitamin D from the morning sun.

So, it can be concluded that Jameela is at risk of having osteomalacia if she continues this way. Osteomalacia is when someone has bones that are not strong dues to the small amount of vitamin D and some minerals such as calcium.

she is suffering from osteomalacia. It is  majorly a Vit D deficiency condition.

Explanation:

Based on her diet, she consumed less of food rich in  Vitamin D, phosphate, Calcium, ( that is less of  yogurt, no egg, milk,  fish, or cheese,) and  few vegetables.

She was  did not  expose herself  to sunlight. She shielded  sunlight with veils blocking UV. Therefore  more deficiency in Vit D. This is responsible for 80% of her condition.

Rather she consumed more of Carbohydrate,  fibres. Therefore there is imbalance in her  bone mineralization.

Vit. D is needed for absorbing Calcium and Phosphate ions from the wall of the intestine into the blood stream for bone mineralization and strengthening (as Calciumphospahte). Therefore , with a diet low in Vitamin D,  Ca, and phosphate,  and failure to absorbed the little available  from the intestine  to the bone tissue  for bone mineralization and hardening , the  bone will  not be hard, but soft.

The condition where most especially Vit,D metabolism , calcium and phosphate of the bone is disrupted,from insufficient supply to the bone, leading to softening of the bone tissues is  called  Osteomalacia. It is known as rickets in kids.
