Vitamin B1 (VB1) is an essential coenzyme for glucose metabolism, but it cannot be synthesized in vivo and therefore depends on ingestion from outside the body. However, the store of VB1 in the body is depleted within about 18 days, and deficiency is likely to occur if a decrease in food intake continues due to decreased appetite. The disease resulting from VB1 deficiency is Wernicke encephalopathy. Treatment involves the intravenous administration of VB1, and recovery is possible without any complications if detected early. However, delayed treatment can result in serious sequelae involving the nervous system (Korsakoff's syndrome) with a mortality rate of close to 20%.
In recent years, VB1 deficiency has been reported not only in patients with alcohol dependence and those with morning sickness, which have been considered to be common in the past, but also in cancer patients. Furthermore, it was reported that 14% of the patients admitted to the emergency department from nursing homes for the elderly had VB1 deficiency. In general, many elderly facility users have dementia, and most Alzheimer-type dementia patients have VB1 deficiency, and it was also revealed that VB1 deficiency is associated with worsening of the peripheral symptoms of dementia (BPSD) (Uchida et al., in press). If this study is able to clarify the rate of VB1 deficiency among institutional residents and its underlying factors, it will have a very significant impact on preventing serious side effects involving the nervous system.
