Is tetany more common certain locations?

Yes, tetany can be more common in certain locations, particularly where there is a higher prevalence of conditions that lead to electrolyte imbalances, such as hypocalcemia or hypomagnesemia. For instance, areas with limited access to nutritious foods or where individuals may have diets deficient in calcium and magnesium can see higher rates of tetany. Additionally, certain regions with high rates of vitamin D deficiency, which can affect calcium absorption, may also experience increased cases.
