yes...there are several different types of avitaminosis...diseases caused by a lack of vitamins.

kwasjiorkor is caused by a lack of protein

even a lack of fats can cause problems in the nervous system and absorption of vitamins

trace inorganic elements are also important: sodium for salt balance and the nervous system, iron sothat you don't become aneamic, potassium to prevent muscle cramps, calcium and phosphorous is needed to fight osteoperosis etc.

a balanced diet is very important for good health
