Overview

Pilot study reports thiamine levels in anorexia nervosa without recent supplementation, suggesting low deficiency risk.

Key Points

  • To assess thiamine deficiency risk in individuals with extreme anorexia nervosa through whole blood TDP levels.
  • Prospective, observational pilot study design.
  • Compared whole blood TDP levels in 24 individuals with extreme AN to reference range and normal-weight controls.
  • Participants received 200 mg of oral thiamine for 10 days during hospitalization.
  • Mean TDP levels were within standard reference range without significant difference from controls.
  • No significant increase in TDP levels after 10 days of oral thiamine supplementation.
