Risk Factors of Korsakoff Syndrome
In addition to the above causes, there are many other risk factors of Korsakoff Syndrome. Most of them are associated with lifestyle and diet. Chronic alcohol misuse and malnourishment are the major risk factors. Some other elements include:
– AIDS: this condition makes people more likely to develop issues linked to vitamin B1 deficiency
– Kidney dialysis, which lowers the absorption of vitamin B1
– Low income and inability to pay for proper food or medical care [3]
