✦ Synopsis

The effect of supplements of vitamins B-1, B-2, niacin, B-6 and C has been assessed in a randomized double-blind trial in 15 hospitalized elderly patients suffering from senile dementia. Supplementation did not prevent an increase in either cognitive impairment or behavioural disturbance. However, it did result in weight gain over a six-week period. Hospitalized demented patients generally suffer significant weight loss, which increases with the duration of hospitalization. Vitamin supplementation may therefore protect against physical deterioration and the development of cachexia.

KEY woms-Therapeutic trial, vitamins, dementia.
