Vitamin C deficiency is not common in developed countries; however, certain individuals are at risk for medical conditions which result from inadequate intake of this nutrient. For example, smokers require more vitamin C than nonsmokers, and people who inhale secondhand smoke will need to consume additional vitamin C. Individuals who have malabsorption problems of the gastrointestinal tract will be at risk for deficiency of ascorbic acid as well.

Groups at risk for deficiency

When there is limitation upon food variety, risk for vitamin C deficiency will be a concern. This is especially true for indigent people, elderly persons, some children, food faddists, those who abuse alcohol or drugs, and those who have mental illness. Infants who consume evaporated or boiled milk will be at risk for it too because cow’s milk has very little of the vitamin, and heat will destroy ascorbic acid.

In developed countries, there is not much risk of vitamin C deficiency in infants since formula and breast milk each contain enough of the nutrient to prevent that.
