Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, leading to symptoms such as weakness, anemia, and skin issues. Although fatigue can be a symptom of scurvy, it does not typically present with significant weight loss or muscle wasting, which are central features of cachexia.

While individuals may experience weight loss and fatigue, anorexia primarily involves psychological factors that lead to restricted food intake, and it does not necessarily include the physiological muscle wasting seen in cachexia.
