Brief Summary  

Introduction

Alcohol consumption is associated with poor cognitive performance particularly executive functions, visuospatial skills, and episodic and working memory, though understanding the association has proved difficult. This variation is due to the methodological limitations in terms of study design ie population selection, age criteria, and a variety of neuropsychological tests measured. Also, little is known about the biological basis of these differences and the prognostic predictors for alcohol consumption. Further, the assessment of how rapidly cognitive impairment is progressing has important clinical implications, since the rate of disease progression may be the most important factor in determining prognosis. A biological marker for rapid cognitive decline would be of importance because at-risk patients can be targeted early for non-pharmacological, medical, and psychosocial interventions to slow deterioration. Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, exerts neuroprotective effects by maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity, and is particularly, studied as a biological marker for cognitive decline. 

LACUNAE

To date, no published literature is available to show the association of alcohol intake and rate of cognitive decline in alcohol-dependent patients among the Indian middle-aged population by evaluating mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and a specific cognitive biomarker i.e., blood levels of thiamine (vitamin B1).

Aim and Objectives

AIM The present study was designed to understand the effect of harmful alcohol use on neuro-cognitive functions among the middle-aged (36-55years) Indian population.

Objectives

Primary Objective

a. To assess the cognitive functions in middle-aged (36-55years) alcohol-dependent patients:

·        by evaluating mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive

assessment (MoCA).

·        by evaluating the blood levels of cognitive biomarker i.e., plasma Thiamine (vitamin B1).

Secondary Objective

·        To compare the above objectives with age and sex-matched healthy controls.
