                                While largely a disease of the past associated with sailors, scurvy—a severe vitamin C deficiency—continues to re-emerge in modern populations due to poor dietary habits and selective eating. This condition severely compromises skeletal health by impairing the synthesis of collagen, a vital component of bone tissue.
