Cause of scurvy = vitamin c deficiency etc?

Occurance of scurvy = incidence of scirvy =

• The incidence of scurvy peaks in children aged 6-12 months who are fed a diet deficient in citrus fruits or vegetables.
• Incidence also peaks in elderly populations, who sometimes have "tea-and-toast" diets deficient in vitamin C.
• etc...

?

I think..depends in what context its being asked
