Overview
No clear data are available on the incidence and prevalence of beriberi; however, it is generally more common in countries with excess white rice consumption and unbalanced food supply.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- No clear data are available on the incidence rate of beriberi.
Prevalence
- Due to the absence of clear data on beriberi prevalence in children, the World Health Organization suggested that infant mortality curves can reflect thiamine deficiency in infants.[1]
- The main reason an exact prevalence rate cannot be identified is that different studies used different blood thiamine concentration cutoffs.[2]
Age
- The infantile form of beriberi occurs in infants under one year of age: Cardiac form (1 to 3 months), aphonic (4 to 6 months), and pseudomeningitic (7 to 9 months).
Race
- There is no racial predilection to beriberi.
Gender
- Beriberi affects men and women equally. However, pregnant women may be at risk.
Region
- The majority of beriberi cases are reported in geographical regions with inadequate dietary intake (developing countries). In developed countries, it may occur in individuals with chronic illness or alcoholism.[3]
