The primary symptoms of zinc deficiency in adults include: reduced food intake, poor appetite, impaired digestive function, recurrent anorexia or picky eating, increased susceptibility to colds, thin, yellowish, brittle, and easily脱落 hair. The skin becomes rough and dry, and recurrent oral ulcers are common. In a small number of patients, zinc deficiency may even lead to decreased vision.
