Expected headings
"Paediatric"
"Adults"
"Scurvy in adults is rare. Young children and older persons are predisposed to scurvy due to their diet or the overheating of food. It does not occur before six months of age because maternal stores are maintained until then. Males and females are equally affected. Patients at risk include elderly males, alcoholics, smokers and those with malabsorptive diseases."
