Astrological indicators--
BONE, (Asthi )The bone is the main Vata tissue in the body and is connected to the absorption of Prana in the large intestine, both of which relate to Saturn. + Sun because only if the Sun is strong and digestion good can the bones be properly built up.
Sun light is also one of the primary sources of vitamin D.
So Sun and Saturn if afflicted can be the cause along with other factors like weakness of ascendant and lord of 6th connection to Sun or Saturn can trigger the disease.
