There are 13 essential vitamins, and each one plays a different role in the body. Vitamin deficiencies can cause a variety of health problems, depending on the vitamin that is deficient.<\/p>\n<p>Calories are a measure of energy. The body needs calories to function properly. Calories come from food and drink. When the body does not get enough calories, it starts to break down muscle tissue for energy. This can lead to weight loss, muscle wasting, and other health problems.<\/p>\n<p>Fats are an important part of the diet. Fats provide energy, help the body absorb vitamins, and protect the organs. However, too much fat can lead to weight gain and other health problems.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the correct answer to the question &#8220;Marasmus usually is associated with a deficiency of&#8221; is <strong>C.
