A
Vitamin C deficiency causes breakdown of connective tissues. Diarrhea, dermatitis, and demen-tia are characteristic of niacin deficiency. Degeneration of nerves and muscles are not associated with deficiency of a specific vitamin. Vitamin C deficiency may be associated with iron defi-ciency anemia because vitamin C enhances absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C deficiency is not generally associated with weight loss.
