People who limit their intake of liver, dairy products and vegetables high in beta-carotene, can develop vitamin A deficiency. The earliest deficiency sign is poor night vision. Deficiency symptoms can also include dry skin, and other conditions. Severe deficiencies causing blindness are rare in the United States.
Less severe deficiencies are more likely to occur with a variety of conditions causing malabsorption. A high incidence of vitamin A deficiency in people infected with HIV has also been reported. People with hypothyroidism have an impaired ability to convert beta-carotene to vitamin A. Very old people with type 2 diabetes have shown a significant age-related decline in blood levels of vitamin A, regardless of their dietary intake.
