Vitamin A (fat absorption/liver disorder) : Dry skin (i. e. eczema) Vitamine B1 (thiamine deficiency) : Beriberi (wet or dry) ... wet affect heart/circulatory system, dry can cause heart failure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) : anemia, gum disease, skin problems, and scurvy Vitamin D (calcium) : bone loss/density; i. e. Rickets where bones become soft and bendable

Mineral dificiency (when your body does not absord or obtain the required amount of intake)

Iron (important for hemoglobin); low iron can cause anemia (causes you to feel weak or tired) calcium (important for strong bones/teeth, supports proper function for blood vessels, muscles, nerves, and hormones); Calcium deficiency disease is osteopenia (left untreated it leads to osteoporosis--usually in older adults)
