About associated conditions for Vitamin A deficiency:

Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Vitamin A deficiency, and underlying causes may be causes of Vitamin A deficiency, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Vitamin A deficiency. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Vitamin A deficiency. People with Vitamin A deficiency may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Vitamin A deficiency is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
