Abstract in brief

  • Thiamine is a crucial nutrient that helps with energy production, but many populations worldwide are at risk of deficiency due to reliance on low-thiamine staple foods and certain food prep methods, complicating diagnosis and prevalence assessment.
  • Identifying at-risk regions can be done through proxy indicators like food supply data and infant mortality rates, prompting urgent public health actions because thiamine deficiency impacts infant survival and may cause long-term neurodevelopment issues if subclinical deficiencies occur in childhood.
  • Proven strategies to combat deficiency include food fortification and targeted supplementation for mothers and infants, though more research is needed to determine the best culturally appropriate ways to implement these interventions effectively.]

チアミン欠乏症 人体のチアミン供給量はほぼ完全に食事摂取に依存。内因性の合成はなく、腸内の細菌によっては少量のチアミンを生成。チアミンの半減期は短く (1 ～ 12 時間)、体内の貯蔵量は限定的。組織のチアミンレベルを維持するには、定期的な食事の補給が必要。https://t.co/f5OGfXUfHv

A essência da vitamina B1. A tiamina (ou vitamina B1) é um micronutriente essencial nos indivíduos saudáveis. Casos graves de desnutrição causam beribéri, que ainda é um problema mundial.
