7. Pellagra is a niacin deficiency disease
Pellagra is a niacin deficiency disease. Italian word meaning ‘sour skin.’
Pellagra is classically described by "the four D's": diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia and death.[14] A more comprehensive list of symptoms includes: High sensitivity to sunlight Aggression Dermatitis, alopecia, oedema Smooth, beefy red glossitis Red skin lesions Insomnia Weakness Mental confusion Ataxia, paralysis of extremities, peripheral neuritis Diarrhea Dilated cardiomyopathy Eventually dementia Frostig and Spies (acc. to Cleary and Cleary) described more specific psychological symptoms of pellagra as:[15] Psycho-sensory disturbances (impressions as being painful, annoying bright lights, odours intolerance causing nausea and vomiting, dizziness after sudden movements) Psycho-motor disturbances (restlessness, tense and a desire to quarrel, increased preparedness for motor action) Emotional disturbances

9. Rickets is the softening of the bones in children, potentially leading to fractures and deformity. Rickets is among the most frequent childhood diseases in many developing countries. The predominant cause is Vitamin D deficiency, but lack of adequate calcium in the diet may also lead to rickets. Although it can occur in adults, the majority of cases occur in children suffering from severe malnutrition, usually resulting from famine or starvation during the early stages of childhood.
Osteomalacia is the term used to describe a similar condition occurring in adults, generally due to a deficiency of Vitamin D. The origin of the word "rickets" is unknown. The Greek-derived word "rachitis" (meaning "inflammation of the spine") was later adopted as the scientific term for rickets, due chiefly to the words' similarity in sound.
There are few dietary sources of Vitamin D. The best ones are fatty fish such as salmon and sardines and margarines supplemented with Vitamin D. Milk contains added Vitamin D, but for people who don't drink milk regularly, they get most of their Vitamin D from exposure of the skin to sunlight. The average person has enough Vitamin D stored in their body to last for two or three years. People who get little exposure to sunlight and don't drink lots of milk and eat foods rich in Vitamin D are most likely to suffer from rickets or osteomalacia. In particular, elderly people or latchkey children who're housebound or confined to residential or nursing homes are at most risk.
