Beriberi is a dietary deficiency disease caused by a lack of thiamine (vitamin B1) in the diet. It is characterized by anorexia, weakness, and edema, and can lead to heart failure and death if left untreated. It is most common in areas where polished white rice is the main staple food, as the refining process removes the thiamine-rich husk.
