Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis and overall health. It typically occurs in individuals who have a poor diet lacking fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits. People at higher risk include those with limited access to fresh produce, such as the elderly, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those on restrictive diets. Symptoms include fatigue, swollen gums, joint pain, and skin issues.
