E50-E64: Other nutritional deficiencies
E63: Other nutritional deficiencies
Other nutritional deficiencies, classified under the E63 grouping, are conditions resulting from a lack of necessary nutrients in a person's diet. They are typically caused by an imbalanced diet lacking key nutrients, poor absorption of nutrients due to gastrointestinal disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, or alcohol abuse. Symptoms can vary widely, as each nutrient plays a different role within the body, but they often include fatigue, dizziness, weakened immune system, and changes in hair, skin, or nail health. Over time, these deficiencies can progress to more serious health issues such as anemia, osteoporosis, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Any bodily system can be affected due to the widespread role of nutrients, however, the nervous, skeletal, and circulatory systems are often particularly impacted.
