Overview
The most important preventive measure against Beriberi is increasing thiamine intake in diet. Other measures include reducing alcohol consumption, proper prenatal care of women in susceptible geographical areas.
Primary Prevention
The primary prevention of Beriberi focuses on the elimination of potential risk factors. This can be achieved through:
- Increasing thiamine intake in diet as beef, eggs, milk, and yeast.
- Reducing alcohol consumption.
- Proper follow-up and care delivery of pregnant women in susceptible demographic areas during and after pregnancy.
- Thiamine supplementation after special forms of bariatric surgery that may affect thiamine absorption.[1]
