Pellagra is primarily caused by a deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3) or its precursor, tryptophan, rather than a mineral deficiency. It is characterized by the "three D's": dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. This condition often arises in populations with diets low in niacin-rich foods, such as those relying heavily on corn. While mineral deficiencies can contribute to overall health issues, they are not the direct cause of pellagra.
